Solved Is Windows 7 x64 UEFI install even possible?

[askho2]

Secure Boot is always disabled. No form of enabled it.

Because sometimes I need to connect HDDs/SSDs that sum more than 2TB.

You don't need to install Win 7 64 as UEFI on a GPT drive to use (read / write) on another GPT drive.
Win 7 64 installed as Legacy - MBR on a HDD / SSD will read a HDD / SSD GPT drive.

Solved!!!

I made a bootable DVD that will install on UEFI (unsecured). I even got as far as all the updates. I'll look for it tomorrow, and find it, and will upload in ISO form. I'll make sure to try to update the latest drives and support for USB 3.1.


The only problem that remained was activation.


I had an Alienware 15r3 and Windows 10 runs like sh!t, as we all know. Granted, Windows 7 is now obsolete. If you need to integrate and files you will need Nlite. However, if you set a third partition, you can just load whatever is needed for win 7.


I would like to get some help with the activation, and FYI legitimate licences will not work.



Nevertheless, message me on here so I can know I'm not working alone. It took me 7 months to get 7 working with UEFI


Stay healthy

For the activation issue, please explain what win 7 version you installed and where did you get the activation key.
