Weird problem (did not see any cases like this), weird res w/ no touch
I have a very weird problem with Windows 7 on my laptop. This is a newer laptop from 2020, so it does not have any CSM support. So, to successfully boot Windows 7, I used a custom ISO (Windows 7 (Surface Pro 1) : Microsoft : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive), and replaced the efi folder with the one in the FlashBoot folder in the ISO. Followed the steps, and successfully got Windows 7 to boot. However, I needed to inject the network and USB3 drivers in order to work. The internet thankfully worked, but the USB3 drivers I needed to install manually using pnputil.exe command. The touchpad and graphics drivers were still not functional. The graphics driver was still "standard VGA graphics". Then, I managed to get the AMD Vega 3 graphics drivers somewhat working, using pnputil again. Now it shows up in Device Manager, but there is no sign of it actually working. The resolution is still weird, and no Aero.
Touchpad IDs:
HID\EVEN_ELAN&DEV_071A&Col01HID\ELAN071A&Col01HID\*ELAN071A&Col01HID\VID_04F3&UP:0001_U:0002HID_DEVI CE_SYSTEM_MOUSEHID_DEVICE_UP:0001_U:0002HID_DEVICE
Any help, no matter how useless it is, would be appreciated!
