How do i install Windows 7 on the Lattepanda

Hello fellow Windows 7 fanatics,

Recently a friend and I bought a Lattepanda 4G/64GB for our Arduino weather station project.
We needed this single board computer to host a SQL server to store the data collected from the sensors. And we would like to see if we can use SQL server data analysis services to see if we can find any patterns. We also need this single board computer to run miscellaneous programs that can only run on Windows 7 (Windows 7 is a better OS anyways ).
It would be a perfect device if we could get Windows 7 to run on it. Hardware-wise it should be able to run Windows 7.
We really need to make this device to work with Windows 7 or it would be completely useless for us.
We have tried a lot things to get the OS installed on this device but we just can't get it to work.

There doesn't really seem to be an option in the BIOS to turn on Legacy or CSM. We have turned off fast boot and secure boot but that didn't help either.
When trying to make a bootable USB device with Rufus with GPT support for UEFI it loads up until displays it starting Windows and then it locks up.

Here is a list of the other things we have tried in different combinations:

Rufus with several different options to make it UEFI compatible:
Hangs at starting Windows
Modifying an ISO making it UEFI compatible:
Same issue
Installing Windows 7 through the pre-installed Windows 10 and finding the possible driver asscociated with it (Intel SD Host Controller):
Won't pick up the driver (maybe the wrong driver?)
YUMI multiboot MBR and GPT:
Won't start from the USB device
Several ISO files including Windows server 2008:
Same issue
UBCD:
Won't start from the USB device
PLOP bootloader:
Won't start from the USB device
Windows install safemode:
Hangs at disk.sys
Windows install ignoring bad driver signatures:
Same issue
Windows install with logs:
Can't find where the logs are located

If anyone has a solution to this problem we would be really grateful,

You may also need to install emmc drivers using dism as above.

Thanks for the possible solution but it doesn't seem to work.

We have tried this solution step for step with the drivers for the Lattepanda but once we reboot after those steps are done it gets stuck in a boot loop. It loads up only giving us an black screen for a while and then it gives us an orange bar at the top and then it loops. We can tell it reboots because it suddenly has a huge drop in current on our current meter.

The attached picture is from the orange bar that it shows while trying to load Windows. That picture was taken before we tried your solution but its the same bar that's on the top at the black screen when Windows 7 tries to boot after those steps from the tutorial.

We would really appreciate some extra help on this issue,
Japster

ALL hardware specs???

My apologies I was pretty sure I uploaded the picture but it didn't seem to get through.
And about the specs here is the list of specs from the Lattepanda Single Board Computer:

Processor: Intel Cherry Trail Z8300 Quad Core 1.8GHz
Operation System: Pre-installed full edition of Windows 10
Ram: 4GB DDR3L
Storage Capability: 64GB
GPU: Intel HD Graphics, 12 EUs @200-500 Mhz, single-channel memory
One USB3.0 port and two USB 2.0 ports
WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0
Built-in Arduino Co-processor: ATmega32u4
Video output: HDMI and MIPI-DSI
Onboard touch panel overlay connector
Supports 100Mbps Ethernet
GPIO:

6 GPIOs from Cherry Trail processor

20 GPIOs from Arduino Leonardo

6 Plug and play Gravity sensor connectors

Power: 5v/2A

you will need to install the video driver into the win7 image before trying to boot it up.

Did you install it into win7 install.wim ?
