UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) - Install Windows 7 with

How to Install Windows 7 Using the "Unified Extensible Firmware Interface" (UEFI)​


   Information
In addition to better interoperability, UEFI firmware provides several technical advantages:
  • Compatibility with operating systems that support only BIOS
  • Ability to boot from large disks
  • CPU-independent architecture
  • CPU-independent drivers
  • Flexible pre-OS environment
  • Modular design
Two of the most notable Windows features for UEFI systems are the following:
  • Multicast deployment, which enables large scale network-based image deployment in manufacturing and enterprise settings.
  • Fast boot and resume from hibernation, which improves user experience.
The rich UEFI interface provides ample room for innovation in the development of operating system features. Along with the other members of the Unified EFI Forum, Microsoft is investigating the following:
  • Rootkit prevention
  • Network authentication

This method can also be used for the UEFI installation of Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Vista SP1.

   Note
You will need to satisfy the following requirements in order to proceed:

  • A Windows 7 compatible system
  • A Windows 7 x64-bit installation media. 32-bit is not supported.
  • A UEFI v2.0+ compliant PC. Check your chipset manufacturer/firmware documentation.
  • A blank, partition-free, hard disk for installation.
   Warning

  • Disabling UEFI will make the system unbootable as there is no MBR on the disks.
  • You CANNOT make a sector-by-sector copy of GPT disks. The Disk and Partition GUIDs will no longer be unique. This must never happen. You can make a sector-by-sector copy of the contents of ESP or basic data partitions.
  • Disable secure boot before installing Windows 7.



Here's How:

1. Do step 2 or 3 below depending on what installation Media you are using.

2. If using a Retail 64-bit Windows 7 Installation DVD A) Insert the DVD, restart the computer, and go to step 4 below.
3. If using a 64-bit Windows 7 Installation USB Flash Drive with UEFI A) If you have not already, you will need to create a Windows 7 installation bootable USB flash drive for UEFI from either a Windows 7 installation ISO or DVD.

B) Connect the USB, restart the computer, and go to step 4 below.
4. Press whatever key (ex: F11) it shows to boot to your motherboard's boot menu, and select to boot from the DVD or UEFI USB. (see screenshot below) UEFI_USB_Boot_Menu.jpg
5. Do steps 3 to 7 in the tutorial link below. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-windows-7-a.html
6. Delete all partitions/volumes on the disk # (ex: Disk 0) that you want to install Windows 7 as UEFI on until that disk # shows as unallocated space. (see screenshot below) Step7.jpg
7. When you are finished, click/tap on New, Apply (for full size of disk), and OK. (see screenshot above)

8. You will notice that the disk has now been formatted as GPT with 3 partitions. Select the "Primary" partition 3, and click/tap on Next. (see screenshot below)
NOTE: You might receive a "Windows can't be installed on drive 0" warning, but as long as you can click on the Next button, you're fine.
   Note
The 3 partitions are:
  • Partition 1 - System - The EFI System partition that contains the NTLDR, HAL, Boot.txt, and other files that are needed to boot the system, such as drivers.
  • Partition 2 - MSR - The Microsoft Reserved (MSR) partition that reserves space on each disk drive for subsequent use by operating system software.
  • Partition 3 - Primary - Where Windows is to be installed to.

    It is imperative that these 3 partitions remain in the exact order as they are

9. You can now finish doing the steps in either tutorial below.

10. That's it. You have successfully installed Windows 7 on an UEFI system.

Hello Cheesum,

From your screenshots, you have successfully installed Windows 7 with UEFI. :)

Out of pure curiosity since I haven't bother with UEFI so far, why doesn't the Ceesum's Disk management screenshot show 3 partitions. I would have thought to see a partition other than EFI called MSR or something similar?

Hello Michael, :)

The MSR is a reserved partition that does not receive a partition ID, so that's why it doesn't show up in Disk Management. It cannot store user data.

In addition:

Windows and GPT FAQ


Microsoft Reserved Partition

Q. What is a Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR)?

A. The Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR) reserves space on each disk drive for subsequent use by operating system software. GPT disks do not allow hidden sectors. Software components that formerly used hidden sectors now allocate portions of the MSR for component-specific partitions. For example, converting a basic disk to a dynamic disk causes the MSR on that disk to be reduced in size and a newly created partition holds the dynamic disk database. The MSR has the Partition GUID:
DEFINE_GUID (PARTITION_MSFT_RESERVED_GUID, 0xE3C9E316L, 0x0B5C,
0x4DB8, 0x81, 0x7D, 0xF9, 0x2D, 0xF0, 0x02, 0x15, 0xAE)

Q. What disks require an MSR?

A. Every GPT disk must contain an MSR. The order of partitions on the disk should be ESP (if any), OEM (if any) and MSR followed by primary data partition(s). It is particularly important that the MSR be created before other primary data partitions.

Q. Who creates the MSR?

A. The MSR must be created when disk-partitioning information is first written to the drive. If the manufacturer partitions the disk, the manufacturer must create the MSR at the same time. If Windows partitions the disk during setup, Windows creates the MSR.

Q. Why must the MSR be created when the disk is first partitioned?

A. After the disk is partitioned, there will be no free space left to create an MSR.


Q. How big is the MSR?


A. When initially created, the size of the MSR depends on the size of the disk drive:
  • On drives less than 16GB in size, the MSR is 32MB
  • On drives greater than or equal two 16GB, the MSR is 128 MB.
As the MSR is divided into other partitions, it becomes smaller.

i want re-instal my laptop.
im using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and i want change to Windows 7 Professional x64 bit by using UEFI.
when i check what the requirement to using UEFI is :

  • A Windows 7 compatible system
  • A Windows 7 x64-bit installation media. 32-bit is not supported.
  • A UEFI v2.0+ compliant PC. Check your chipset manufacturer/firmware documentation.
  • A blank, partition-free, hard disk for installation
then my question is :

1. How to check my laptop using UEFI v2.0+ compliant PC easily and how to check what are my chipset manufacturer ?
2. Is any problem if i change BIOS to UEFI ?

Hello Anec, and welcome to Eight Forums.

Not sure about the 'Launch PXE OpROM' setting since I haven't had anything with it to test with.

The ASUS N76VB does have Windows 8 and Windows 7 listed for the OS in the specs below.
N76VB - Notebooks & Ultrabooks - ASUSHowever, considering that ASUS only has Windows 8 drivers available for that model, you may be better off sticking with Windows 8. If you install Windows 7, you may have generic drivers without all the features used for some devices. N76VB - Notebooks & Ultrabooks - ASUS

Thank you for fast reply brink but.. when i install windows 8 in UEFI mode on every startup it shows scanning and repairing drive 100% . It's not get stuck but its really annoying. Otherwise , when i install win 8 in non-uefi mode everything is OK. Soo.. what you think , where is the problem ?.. which part caused to shows this message (ofc. windows is new and fresh copy and HDD is checked - everything is fine). I will be glad if you have any solution about this.
Thank you again, Anec
