UEFI Windows 7 Install on a Gigabyte z690 (help!!!)

Hey everyone. Recently I have been trying to perform an install of Windows 7 on my Gigabyte z690 motherboard to my GPT partition scheme SSD, but I always get a BSOD error interrupting the 'starting windows' clover animation identical to this: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=htt...dd8e8a28b94c77 . There seem to be many people on threads I have seen who get this exact error with the same motherboard, but i have no details on the people that have succeeded. Here is a list of some things i have tried:

• Enabled CSM/Legacy support in bios.
• UEFISeven.
• integrated KB5017361 patch into an iso file using dism++ (which gives uefi boot support natively to some people apparently).
• everything in this video How to install Windows 7 on modern hardware (Works on Z390 up to the latest Z690 chipset!) - YouTube
• installing windows 7 (sucessfully) using a modified modern installation environment (such as windows 10's) but the screen freezes at the same booting animation as the installer does when running the os
• modified acpi.sys files that are supposed to fix this error.
• modified boot64.efi files.
• updated bios

unfortunately these have had limited success. Any help, especially from those who have solved this issue with the same motherboard or different, would be much appreciated!!

I would be interested in having a look at that image to see what has been done to it.

Yes, Blubonnet image.

@jacer4

perhaps it is the bios version on whatever type of gigabyte z690 you have. Others with z690 have managed it

Okay, so for most people using a 'Gigabyte Z690 UD DDR4' motherboard, this acpi.sys file should do the trick:
Upload files for free - acpioriwin7bit64DDB11h8hack.sys - ufile.io
it has worked for two people according to this forum:
Only 790 MB free Ram in Win7 SP1 on z690 board - Windows 7 - MSFN
here is a backup link already named:
acpi.sys - Google Drive
Howeeeverrr for some gosh damn reason this will not work on my 'Gigabyte Z690 GAMING DDR4' motherboard and I want to die. I believe it should work since my motherboard is not so different, and this exact modified acpi.sys file, I have found, is already included in several Windows 7 modified ISOs so it should be compatible with most other motherboards?? I'm probably just an idiot doing something wrong. I'll update this thread with a solution when I get it working (I get the same BSOD btw).

Aaand it turns out I was an idiot. LOL. Here's what worked for me.

- Installed the following ISO (uses windows 10 installation environment so it should work) (may require you to disable csm/legacy support during installation only): ]Internet Archive: Error
- On a different disk, I replaced the acpi.sys in the actual disk after the installation was complete, not in the base iso.
- Disabled 'Driver Signature Enforcement'
- It works.. for now. (you may have to replace it multiple times unfortunately)
(uhh this also seems to have broken my existing windows 10 install on a different drive... theres that too)
