Hi All,
Greets,
@SweeX : Sir,
i wanted to say that i don't want to make a system restore and i fixed the windows 10 BCD Error with EasyUEFI. also, what do i need to do with EasyBCD?
1.
(a) I asked you to make a System Restore Point only as a cover/precaution, as i was trying to resolve the BCD error with EasyBCD. I thought if something goes wrong, you can restore the system back to the working status. It is always good to make System Image(s) but if you don't, at least make a new System Restore Point just before trying anything else.
(b) The objective of EasyBCD was to resolve the BCD error. Because one never knows when it becomes critical! I will insist on getting your system free of any type of BCD/ Booting errors. If EasyUEFI has done it for you, you don't need EasyBCD as of now! [ EasyUEFI Free offers a very limited functionality & Trial for full/professional version ends 15 days & you probably running a trial version , Isn't it ? ]
(c) Once you get rid of BCD/Boot errors, use EasyUEFI to Backup EFI System Partition. Take a note of the location where the backup is saved, Save it to other than c: & keep a copy of it safely for the future! The Backing Up & Restoring EFI System Partition is supported on free version as well.
(d) I would advise to Backup BCD with EasyBCD as well & keep it safely somewhere!
2. To Backup BCD with EasyBCD:
(a) Download EasyBCD.zip & extract it to a folder :
https://www.sevenforums.com/attachme...on-easybcd.zip
(b) Follow TASK-3 : (a) to (e) & close EasyBCD here :
\EFI\BOOT\BCD Error While Booting On Windows 7 USB Installation
3. Have you done it all ? Should we proceed with preparing the windows 7 USB installation media ? It would need a USB Pen Drive & all the data on it will be erased/lost.
Let us know.
Thanks & Regards. ...
Hi All,
@SweeX : Sir,
1. i've backup my BCD with EasyUEFI Portable (note that the normal version won't open)
(a). EasyBCD Portable & EasyUEFI are two independent/different softwares.
(b). I suggested you to backup BCD with EasyBCD & back up EFI System Partition with EasyUEFI , once the BCD errors fixed.
(c). What do you mean by '' the normal version won't open '' ? Do you mean to say that you are not able to backup EFI System Partition with EasyUEFI ?
2. As i recall you have already disabled Fast Boot & Secure Boot in the Bios. And also disabled Fast Startup in/from win 10.
3. You have UEFI + GPT configuration on your pc & I will help you make the installation media properly. Just be ready with a USB 2.0 pen drive of 8gb or more capacity.
( win 7 doesn't support USB 3.0 out of the box, So, to avoid any problems use USB 2.0 pen drive & USB 2.0 Port for win 7 installation media )
4. What are your plans for win 7 ? You don't want to make & use a separate partition for win 7 on your current internal hard disk ? Are you having a second internal hard disk option in your pc/mother board ? What are your plans ? Do you just want to make it certain that you can boot into win 7 installation media & that is all ? Why do you think that you can't get win 7 to work on this pc ? ( There are good reasons that you can run windows 7 on this pc! )
Let us know.
Thanks & Regards. ...

Sorry for late reply. (again)
So basically i just found an iso called Windows 8 Build 7989, it's kinda like windows 7...
But the only problem is that I CANNOT FIND INTEL HD GRAPHICS 500 DRIVERS FOR IT.
I am currently searching for windows 7, not windows 8.
I'm kinda of sad because of it...and i think i will stop trying because i never can get it to work.

Hi All,
Greets,
@SweeX : Sir,
1) Can you brief what is that Windows 8 Build 7989 ? Why did you choose it instead of win 7 ? Did you make the download from authentic sources ?
2) Why do you think that you can't run the Win 7 SP1 on your pc at all ? Do you find some drivers missing ? If yes, what are those ?
( From within windows 10 installation on the pc, you can easily make out the missing drivers for/in win 7/win 8 iso for that same pc with a utility. )
3) I am quite confused! Are you looking for graphics driver for Windows 8 Build 7989 ? If yes, then you have to search for a win 8 driver & not a win 7 driver. Though the Win 8 version may be alike win 7, it is still win 8.
4) Have you installed that win 8 version ?
5) Are you planning to establish a dual boot/multi boot of win7 with your original installation of win 10 ? That way you can evaluate whether win 7 can be run on your pc while the win 10 is running as it is. You can evaluate win 7 genuinely for almost 110 days without a product key.
6) Do you plan multi boot ? If yes, are you going to use a second internal hard disk or just another partition on the same internal hard disk ?
Let us know.
Thanks & Regards. ...

1) So i just wanted to say that Windows 8 Build 7989 is pretty much the same as windows 7, so i install that version of windows 8. (It's dual booted with windows 10), so i downloaded the drivers from windows 10, putted in my USB and booted back on Windows 8, then i realize installing the Intel HD Graphics Drivers i saw that it said something like (no need to install those drivers), so i realize it never will work. But the drivers i installed was Windows 7 x64...Not much i can say.
