Windows 7 x64 Professional Stuck On asstor64.sys
Hi there! As you know, Windows 7 is a relatively outdated OS at this point, but that didn't stop me from giving it another go. I have a new laptop to test on now (An Acer Aspire 3 iirc), so I used FlashBoot for the drivers and Simplix for the cumulative updates and etc. So, I booted it up (UEFI mode cannot be changed sadly, but secure boot was off), let it install, and then it froze. Booting in Safe Mode to see what the issue was, I saw that it hung at ahcix64.sys. I renamed that driver to ahcix64.sys.old since I read about it working when you do that, but then, another driver ruined my day. While booting in Safe Mode, it froze at the asstor64.sys driver. Waiting for it to respond again was useless, like the ahcix64.sys driver. So far, I've scoured at least 50% of the Windows 7 forums for answers, but to no avail.
Specs:
Acer Aspire A315-43
8.00GB RAM (7.35 usable)
UEFI mode, Secure Boot on (but can be disabled)
AMD Ryzen 5500u
512 GB NVMe drive
Please help if you can!
