I am attempting to run Windows 7 on my Acer Swift 3 from 2018, the laptop does not have an option to enable CSM/Legacy boot so I'm using UEFISeven. I have slipstreamed all the hotfixes and drivers (including NVMe and USB 3.0), but whenever I try to boot into Windows 7, I just can't get past the startup screen, it suddenly reboots halfway through the Starting Windows animation. I am not sure what is causing this, but one thing I've noticed is when I tried to boot into safe mode, it hangs at disk.sys for a while and then reboots by itself. I have disabled secure boot and tried to change SATA modes, nothing helped. At this point I have no idea what to do. Can anyone provide me solutions on how to make this work? Any help would be appreciated.
