Problems installing Windows 7 on modern hardware, 0x0000007B BSOD
(Sorry if this post is a mess, I have had to retype this because even though it says it autosaves it doesen't actually work so when I closed my browser it was gone...)
Hello, I think this is the right section.
I have been trying to dual-boot Windows 7 and Windows 10 on my HP Pavillion Gaming PC (see profile for specs), but I have encountered some problems.
The first problem i encountered was that the installer would not recognise my mouse and keyboard, but that was easly solved by integrating the drivers using 7UPv64F (with simplix pack).
The second problem was that the installer would not recognise my M.2 NVMe SSD.
I discovered this post, and used the BOOT.WIM from SIW2's boot media in mine, and luckly it recognised my SSD and I was able to install Windows 7.
However, on the first boot of Windows 7, I got the dreaded 0x0000007B BSOD.
The install image does have the two NVMe hotfix updates, I checked this using NTLite.
I also tried to put the storage controller drivers from HP's website on a USB stick and integrating them using the Windows installer, but it wouldn't recognise my drivers.
I also tried integrating them with DISM++ in Windows PE, but for some reason it just ended up corrupting the image completly.
Any help solving this would be appreciated.
