Cannot boot to Windows 7 due to a "stop:0x0000007B" error

I have a 1 TB SATA SSD once installed on my old Lenovo PC (old Intel Pentium E2400) before that SSD was transferred to my new custom PC with an Intel Core i3-9100f and ASUS PRIME B365M-A. That SATA SSD has two partitions. The primary partition has Windows 7 Ultimate x64, the other logical partition has Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019. Both were installed on my old Lenovo PC. Surprisingly, when I put that SATA SSD into my new PC, Windows 10 automatically updates everything and I don't have to reinstall Windows 10. So everything in Windows 10 LTSC 2019 runs okay. But on Windows 7, I get a blue screen of death with "stop:0x0000007B" error upon rebooting on that primary partition on my new PC. Tried safe mode, same result. Tried repairing, didn't help. I have not tried re-installing a modified Windows 7 with recent drivers and updates dating back to Jan 2020 because I am thinking it won't install through unsupported hardware resulting in booting errors and may affect my Win10 boot options.

Please do not tell me to upgrade to Windows 10 on that partition because I already have Windows 10 installed on another partition.

I transferred win7 hd from ivybridge lga 1155 mobo to coffeelake lga 1151 mobo without any problem. Win7 adjusted itself fine. The same with Vista, which adjusted itself fine.

Your transfer from lga 775 to coffeelake lga1151 is more of a jump. Does the error message give any info about the driver?

Yes, the error message is just a bunch of numbers I cannot describe and no letters.

Like you said earlier, my sata SSD for Windows 7 in my old Lenovo PC was probably defaulted to IDE and not AHCI, which definitely needs to reconfigure the registry settings. I believe in my new PC, the usage of hard drives in my new custom PC is set to AHCI under my BIOS UEFI. I still rely on an optical drive (ie LG 16x Blu-ray writer) to run.

But now that I have a NVMe SSD installed in addition to my old SATA SSD and a 2TB HDD, will this have any effect?

and my next thought was, BIOS legacy or EUFI, bet the old one was legacy

Oh, I looked in the UEFI BIOS and I found out that the Bios setting for that is set to RAID, not AHCI. Also upon on the reboot my SSD, HDD and NVMe SSD are registered as Non-raid drives. I can enable AHCI but then my LG 16x blu-ray writer cannot be used and Windows 10 has to re-modify the registry in order to work. I know enabling AHCI will make my SSDs run faster at max performance.

Unfortunately despite efforts to change Windows 7 registry, the boot failed again with that same error message, obviously due to unsupported CPU/motherboard. I am hoping for a registry edit from a site that I need to know that will reset the driver for CPU/motherboard and support unsupported hardware.
