I've tried, Now, the BSOD actually stays in place, not in a reboot loop then the BSOD dissappears immediately..

-- UPDATE --
Thanks to UefiSeven, I was able to boot to the Windows 7 setup without anything freezing. However, theres 2 problems:

1. Trackpad/USB Mouse does not work.
2. I am being asked for drivers at setup (i tried to continue the install with keyboard)

Please suggest any options.

Thanks !

Have you added uefiseven to the win7 you already applied from the .tibx image ?

Or are you using regular regular win7 media to which you have added uefiseven?

If you used regular win7 installation media, you will need to add usb3 support.

 

[zenou]

what does that mean?

Have you added uefiseven to the win7 you already applied from the .tibx image ?

Or are you using regular regular win7 media to which you have added uefiseven?
If so, how precisely did you do it - the exact steps.

Or have you done something else?

If you used regular win7 installation media, you will need to add usb3 support.

Hi SIW2,
I created a UEFI usb with rufus (win 7 iso). Then I added UefiSeven to it, and it boots. but the problems i specified are there.
How do i integrated usb 3 ?

Thanks

 

[SIW2]

Then I added UefiSeven to it

How? Tell us the exact process, step by step, leaving nothing out.

How do i integrated usb 3 ?

It is in my sig at the bottom of all my posts.




The update in the zip file needs to be integrated into boot.wim image2 .Then the drivers in the same zip file need to be integrated into boot.wim image2

Next,

The update in the zip file needs to be integrated into install.wim -your image number .Then the drivers in the same zip file need to be integrated into install.wim -your image number .

Easily done with dism++

Okay sure. So,
1. Prepare Windows 7 USB with Rufus - use the GPT UEFI(Non-CSM) mode.
2. Go to (USB Drive Letter)/EFI/Boot and rename bootx64.efi to bootx64.original.efi
3. Get bootx64.efi from the UEFISeven archive accessible at: Release 1.24 . manatails/uefiseven . GitHub.
4. Copy the bootx64.efi from the UEFISeven archive to (USB Drive Letter)/EFI/Boot.
5. Boot from your usb.

Thank you very much, i'll try your instructions!

SIW2, Do I just mount wim, add drivers, and unmount and create iso??
I have done this for both boot.wim and install.wim
Correct me if i am wrong

 

[SIW2]

You need to integrate the update. Then add the xhci and uasp drivers. Image 2 of boot.wim and whatever image you are using in install.wim

Save the changes and unmount.

Then you create bootable iso or bootable usb.

Then usb3 should work.

If you are installing to nvme disk, you need to also integrate the nvme updates ( in my sig at the bottom of all my posts).
They also need to be integrated into boot.wim image 2 and whatever your image number is in install.wim

There is an extra step you might not expect. After integrating the nvme updates into boot.wim image 2, the boot.wim sources folder must be copied to the distribution folder - overwriting the existing files in the distribution sources folder

- - - Updated - - -

Instead of using dism commands or dism++, you could do a little cheat by using one of the oem things, for example the biostar windows tool. http://www.biostar.com.tw/utility/WindowsTool.zip

Replace the usb 3 drivers that biostar provides in their Driver\usb\x64 folder with the xhci and uasp drivers from the zip

Add the windows6.1-kb2864202-x64.msu from the zip to the biostar HOTFIX\x64 folder.

Then the windowstool.exe will do it for you.

No worries, I have used DISM to do everything. Currently creating a bootable USB. I'll report the results.

 

[Megahertz07]

You don't need to use Rufus.

To make a USB boot able drive:

Open a CMD window as administrator and type:

diskpart
list disk (it will list all drives. Identify the USB drive number)
select disk n (replace n by the USB drive number obtained with list disk)
clean
convert mbr
create part primary
select part 1
format fs=fat32 quick
assign
active
exit (to exit diskpart)

Use 7Zip to extract all files and folders from the Win 7 iso file to the USB drive

To make it UEFI boot able you must add the \efi\boot folder

I have got far. I sent HDD to my old hp and installed windows 7. Now, it’s stuck on starting windows. It’s not frozen though. It’s flashing.

 

[SIW2]

Could be a problem with the graphics drivers .

There are win7 drivers for 7th and 8th gen from biostar, and there are win7 drivers for 9th gen from canonkong.

Some people have disabled vga and integrated a working igpu driver. But there arent any win7 igpu drivers for 10th and newer as far as I know. Not unless canonkongs 9th gen driver will also work for 10th/11th. I dont know

Otherwise:

Did you try using vgashim

 

[zenou]

I see. Yeah I’ve looked that one up and tried the steps. It just gets stuck at starting windows. But it’s not frozen though. It flashes. Can you point me on how to disable vga and integrate the driver from canonkong ?

Wait - I’m using the wrong version of vgashim. I’ll try the one posted and report back.

SIW2,
OMG Mate. God bless you, omg. I finally got it working!... thank you so much dude. Thank you soooooo much. I’ll post a pic of my MB with windows 7 and cpu z. I owe you!

 

[SIW2]

Great

wheres the pics - we wait in eager anticipation

 

[zenou]

Just one minor problem I have noticed. The resolution is unchangable. It’s stuck on 1024x768. Any way to change it?
and thank you so much

Oh and I forgot, my trackpad isnt working either. I use a USB mouse.

You will be lucky to find drivers for that. There might be a bios setting you can change to basic or some similar description for the trackpad.

You can see what pecmd can do

from cmd prompt or run box type:
<path_to>pecmd.exe DISP

View attachment pecmdx64.zip

What is device manager looking like?

Or you could msinfo32>components>problem devices which should show the device ids

You could also run simplix update pack and see if that helps.

In addition, you could have a go with canonkongs igpu drivers - really meant for 9th gen, but you never know.

Unfortunately no bios settings related.

I'll try to see what PECMD got for me. Will let u kno.
And pls link the canonkongs gpu driver. Would love to try it

No output from pecmd upon selecting DISP option. I'll try the simplix pack now0

It would help if you export the problem devices to a text file.

So you can copy the dev id and search the net for it - particularly need the network card driver.

Thanks. I'll do that. I'm using a 600MBPS dLink usb card for now. I'll search for them

I tried the modded driver, first it said the computer dosent meet the minimum requirements then after editing the hardware ID and installing, it reports a problem on the device. So i guess thats a goner? (talking about the graphics one)

 

[SIW2]

That is the problem with laptops. Desktops you can just add any old separate graphics card.

You could ask at win raid forum - they might have some ideas. If you are very lucky canonkong might try and help.

Rt click the device in dev mgr and browse to the extracted inf files.
