I've heard of installing an operating system FROM a flash drive, but never TO a flash drive.

What operating system is on it now? Chrome? Is this a Chromebook?

Its not to a flash drive, its to my internal eMMC. Im currently running windows 8.1.

Oh, so you already have windows 8 on it? And you want to put windows 7 on it instead? Or do you want to have a dual-boot?

Where did you find win7 emmc drivers ?

ther are some for nuc, but they need a modified storport.sys

Those might work because I have a HP laptop. There you know where I could get the modified storport.sys?

how do I get LPSS drivers also? and yes, my computer is similar to that. infact, those we're the exact specs when it was first bought.

I think they must be these that are inside the .msi

All along, the issue was apparently the file that loads after disk.sys. from the research I have done that file is ClassPNP.sys, do you know what could be happening now?

 

[SIW2]

How would I known what is happening now unles you describe it.

So pretty much it hangs for a sec loading what I think is classPNP.sys, doesnt load successfully and blue screens for a split second. Enabling boot logging did not create a file in safe mode.
(EDIT): So while looking through footage I took classPNP.sys actually loads, but a thing I noticed was that before it was ahcix64.sys but after deleting that file it crashed at amdlog.sys and then disk.sys despite this being an updated version that has eMMC drivers. unfortunately, HP is an ass and decided to lock the advanced option on my laptop model. (the error BSOD information is the following: STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFFFFF880009A98E8, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000)

have you solved the problem?

using google search, it's known that
HP emmc PC, yes, it's possible to install Windows 7 OS if proper drivers (emmc I2C, , ,) installed.
Lenovo emmc PC, No. because Lenovo BIOS has a white-list which excluded Windows 7.

your Samsung emmc PC, could try, in best.

my emmc laptop shipped with Windows 8/8.1. when re-install, I had tried Windows 7, 8/8.1, 10, 11.
its performance on Windows 11> on 10>on 8/8.1.

Hence Windows 11 was selected at final. you can try Windows 11 OS if still cannot find a solution (emmc, I2C drivers, , , are built-in on Windows 8/8.1 10 11. But NOT on Windows 7).
