    Trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 on an AMD Ryzen 3


    Hello, this is my first time on the Seven Forums. I was wondering how I could fix a problem with installing Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 on a HP Laptop 15-ef1xxx with AMD Ryzen 3 with Radeon Graphics 3250U. I booted into the installation in UEFI mode (Secure Mode was off) using a USB drive that had a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate (it was from Windows 7 Image Updater and I also burned the image to the USB using Rufus). It all looked like it was functioning, until midway through the installation. (I also noticed the cursor didn't show and the trackpad wasn't working) When it had to restart, it managed to get to the "Starting Windows" screen, but it froze. Here is some raw footage of what happened

    Looks like you are using one of the win7 2018 iso files.

    You can have a look here:

    [Solution] Win 7/Win8.1 x64 Ryzen APU Video driver. - Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008 - Win-Raid Forum

    sha2 patch, mainboard drivers and 21.11.1 apu drivers


    They can be integrated into install.wim using dism++ ( or integrate into the already applied image which might work , if not then integrate into install.wim and reinstall/reapply )

    Can I use NTLite instead of DISM++?
    Do I also integrate the files in your signature?

    Yes, I used Direct Save and then I unmounted the image. Do I choose "Save image as" or "Save image"?

    Follow the screenshots. "Save Image"

    Installing Windows 7 on intel Comet Lake ?

    It then asks if you want direct or incremental

    If you do direct save it overwrites the existing image in the wim file.

    If you do incremental save, it creates another image in the wim file.
