    Can my laptop (a 2020 Lenovo Legion 5i) run W7?


    Hello there,

    I want to install Windows 7 (and multi boot it with W10 and Linux) on my laptop (specs in profile), but I don't know if it can run it or what patches I need to apply to run W7 without issues.

    If it doesnt have csm support, not completely impossible but not really practical.

    If it does have csm, then it should be doable especially as there is a separate graphics card. Unlikely there will be drivers for touchpad, and net card could be a problem - might need a dongle.

    Alright. I checked, and it has csm support. Now what do I need to do to make W7 run nicely on my laptop?
