UEFI Windows 7 Install on a Gigabyte Z690 GAMING DDR4 (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!!
