ryzen 3 2200g and windows 7 (temporarily)

I bought 3 ryzen 3 2200g chips before I found out that they do not support Windows 7.  I have seveal unused Windows 7 licensces that I need to use.  Once Windows 7 is installed, I can upgrade them free of charge at Microsoft.  But in order to do that I need to install Win 7 first.  Is there any way to make that happen with the ryzen 3 2200g.  I don't care too much about complete support, just enough to let me upgrade them to Win 10.  As  a last resort, is there a chip that will fit on the asrock a320m-hdv motherboard and let me install, upgrade and then switch back to the ryzen?  Would that even work?  Thanks,

Try to Install Windows 10 with clean install without product key and then go to 

Settings  > Update & Security  > Activation and give Windows 7 Activation key
