Presently using Window 7 – last version available from MS website - in a VM ( Oracle ) I would install it on a dedicated partition , but I can’t : when the computer reboot ( first reboot ) before the last step "installation end » , computer reboot on the USB but it’ comes at each time time at the origine of the installation ( langage selection ,partitionselect ,, ) ...etc It run into a continuous loop !
Install data are : iso 64 bit , usb done with rufus : mode gpt , uefi -no csm (automatic sélection) .
HD : gpt partition as détail with 3 distro :Mint with Windows7 in VM , MX et Arch
sda1 :swap -sda2 :/Mint -sda3 :home Mint -sda4 :/Mx 19 -sda5:/Arch20 - sda6 :efi , boot ,esp -sda7 :win7 ( 48 Go partition)
Bios settings : UEFI et legacy ( with EFI no start possible : « no bootable system ,,,,, » ! )
If someone have an idea to fix this matter ....
I suppose the matter is the presence of Linux distro before Windows install and/or also bios settings ( during Linux install ) or is it the presence of a Windows7 in VM ?my aim is to remove this Win7 in VM after installing it on a the dedicated partition.( and after perhaps to upgrade to WIn10).
Notes:
1)same matter with Window 10 .
2) for windows 7 install in VM , none problems occured (Win7 presently activated and working with no problems)
3)When I remove the USB before reboot during install , the computer propose its standard grub menu ( selection between 3 linux distro only , Windows menu appears but not working ) , but never Windows install program is continuing and then Windows install never ends ! Also Windows items ( Window efi manager ,,,, ) of grub menu are not working at all .
