    Installing windows 7 alongside 11 booting in UEFI/GPT


    As the title says, I’ve been trying to get this working. At first, I modified my installation media to be compatible with my nvme drive + uefi, and after it reboots for the first time it hangs at the starting windows screen. Then I manually installed windows using dism, and after inserting the boot loader entry with bcdedit, it gets stuck at the starting windows screen once again. After I enable boot logging, I saw that it always gets stuck loading disk.sys
    Note: I have already provided it with an nvme driver that was loaded prior to disk.sys

    Hello! I made a tutorial on Reddit that can help at fixing the issue. If your motherboards has CSM, it'll be fancy. Hopefully, you'll get it working (you can message me if you have questions)
