Hello Nauk777,

Unfortunately looks like Windows Server 2022 is not supported on DL380 G7 server.

I checked the OS compatibility matrix and WS2022 is listed for Gen10 and above : https://techlibrary.hpe.com/us/en/enterprise/servers/supportmatrix/windows.aspx#dl

Hope it helps!

A few months ago I installed Windows Server 2022 Std on my HP ProLiant DL380 G7 server and it works fine. The only problem is with the installation media - in most cases, the server does not see new flash drives and DVD disks with a capacity of more than 4 GB. I do not remember how I overcame this, but I did the installation a couple of months ago. Now I need to install Windows Server 2022 Std on the same server again, but I can not boot from either a flash drive or a disk. Does anyone know how to overcome this once and for all?

UPD: Today I managed to install Windows Server 2022 Std on the HP ProLiant DL380 G7 server after the following steps:

1. Created a bootable USB flash drive using RUFUS with the MBR partition scheme;
2. Removed the HP Smart Array P800 Raid controller (501575-001).
I think that this controller is not supported by the new Windows Server 2022, so in my case, this was the cause of installation errors.

In your case, check if there are any similar old, unsupported parts on the server and it is better to replace them with more modern parts.

I have successfully installed Windows Server 2019 on HP DL580 G7 but there is no compatible driver for the network card, is there any way to fix the above situation?
