I hate windows 10.
It's a piece of garbage.
I want to install windows 7 but i just can't.

My BIOS settings are these (edited for convenience):

Safe boot is disabled, CSM is enabled with legacy mode.

But it always freezes at the logo when booting the OS installer:

And even worse, once it just switched to a BSOD about my bios:

What is going on here? Is my hardware somehow unable to run windows 7? It's fairly recent (specially the processor) but the idea of a processor being unable to run an OS is ridiculous!

The Intel Core i3-10105F is a 10th generation processor which supports only Windows 10 and 11.
That's why you can't get Windows 7 to install.

It is not the cpu, it is the motherboard. People have win 7 running on 10/11 gen cpus. Though the F suffix means you need a separate graphics card.
Are there windows 7 drivers for your graphics card?

In spite of being called 410m v3 your motherboard has the H510 chipset.

1. Do you have the most recent bios?

2. What is the installation media - does it already include sp1 and have the latest drivers/updates integrated

2. You could check win raid forum for suggestions installing win7 to that motherboard.

3. You could try uefiseven Releases . manatails/uefiseven . GitHub
