I'm trying to install Windows 7 64 bit on my Asus laptop but it gets stuck on the "Starting Windows" screen. I've tried using Asus EZ installer to put USB 3.0 drivers on the iso but its still stuck. I'm using Rufus with UEFI for GPT setting to put it on USB.
Here's my laptop information:

I have disabled secure boot in bios and there isn't a CSM or legacy boot option in there
I think the problem isn't with USB because when I tried to make a bootable partition on my laptop it still gets frozen...
any help? I really don't want to use windows 10.

I tried installing those drivers, but it says they aren't compatible with my laptop. Uefiseven didn't work either, it still got stuck on that screen.

- - - Updated - - -

Ok I got it installed by putting windows 7 install.wim on windows 10 install usb, and it said "setup is updating registry" or something like that and now its stuck on starting windows again.

Laptops that were made for Win 10 and doesn't have CSM are difficult to install Win 7. The main problem is that BIOS isn't compatible with Win 7.
Are you booting the USB Win 7 installation media as Legacy or UEFI?
