    \EFI\BOOT\BCD Error While Booting On Windows 7 USB Installation


    Hi, i'm new here.
    I am trying to install windows 7 on UEFI but i am getting an \EFI\BOOT\BCD Error while i boot to the USB, some times i boots, but it gets stuck at Starting Windows, some time instead, i get this error.
    Is There A Way To Fix This?

    Welcome to the Forum.

    Are you trying to install Win 8.1 64 on a Asus Vivobook Max with MB X541NA?
    Is the current OS also Win 8.1 or Win 10?

    For installing as UEFI:
    - Boot the installation disk as UEFI, not Legacy.
    - Go to install - Advanced - Delete all partitions - Create new.
    It will create, at least, 3 partitions
    - EFI - 100M - Fat32
    - MS Reserved - 120M RAW (un formatted)
    - Big NTFS
    Choose the big NTFS to install on.

    If I understood, you have Win 8.1 and Win 10 (both EFI) and you want to install Win 7 64, correct?

    Did you disabled Secure boot and Fast boot on BIOS? Win 7 isn't compatible with Secure boot.
    Under Win 8.1 or Win 10, did you shrink last partition and then formatted the new partition to install Win 7?

    BIOS i/o security disable the sd card reader thing (it might say Lock instead of disable )

    Disable Fast Boot

    Enable CSM

    With a bit of hunting around you might able able to find drivers, except perhaps for touchscreen. In some bios you can set touch to legacy ( which will probably work).
