Hi,
Any idea how can I create Win7 x32 USB installer that supports GPT/UEFI boards?

Got a chinese tablet with 2/32 and its to low for Win10. But i made myself in the past really small in7 installation and would love to check if it would work on this device with Win10 drivers.

Problem is I cannot find a way to create UEFI USB with Win7 x32...

Any idea?

Tried creating it with Yumi (all 3variants), WinSetupFromUSB and even Win10 installation media made by Rufus that I changed install.win to Win7 one.
Latest started installation, but gave error somewhere closer to its end...

win7 x86 does not support efi boot. :(

It would have to be win8 or newer. One way to check is to look in system32 for winload.efi. As far as I know, nobody has succeeded in porting that capability from win8 x86 back to win7 x86.
