Windows 7 32bit UEFI boot and winload.efi missing?

[threeeye]

Hi guys,
I'm trying to install Windows 7 32bit with UEFI
The reason:
I have a Dell tablet that I need to do some tests on it for work,
this tablet is a UEFI, 32bit only.
Win 10 has a bug with the tablets WiFi, it just disconnects randomly, and no matter what driver I install, it's the same...
I'm booting from a USB.

I followed a few videos, but they are all for 64bit.
I got the USB to start the installer, but I got stuck with missing winload.efi,
I copied it from a Win 7 64bit (since 32bit doesn't have it), but now I'm getting:
Windows failed to start...
\windows\system32\winload.efi
0xc000000f


Is there another way to do it?
Thanks

32 bit win7 doesn't support efi boot. 64 bit does.

Win 10 has a bug with the tablets WiFi

You could try win8.1 32 bit.

32 bit win7 doesn't support efi boot. 64 bit does.

You could try win8.1 32 bit.

Windows 8/8.1 IS a bug...
I will rather install Windows 98 then windows 8. LOL


I was looking for a work around/patch

But, Thanks anyway...

I vaguely recall some of the early builds of win7 x86 might have had it, but not the release version

Thanks for the info.
Now I just need to get a hand on one of those builds...
How can I do that?

Can't recall - might be something about it on msfn forum from a few years ago. you will have to search for it.

There is an old vista build (server 2008) that has it in x86 - build 6.0.5384. Might also be in the release version of server 2008

Any reason why you don't install win 7 64?

It's a 32bit only tablet

If it is a 32 bits ONLY tablet it should be possible to install Win 7 32 bits as Legacy-MBR

The tablet has ONLY UEFI, no Legacy...

Hi

If its only the wifi thats giving you a problem - we had a case recently with the same problem, it needed a support driver to enable wifi, NOT the actual wifi driver which was present.
does dell have an equivalent


Cannot find wifi network

The tablet comes with Windows 8, after installing Windows 10 the WiFi looses connectivity and can't find any networks (the adapter needs to be disabled and re-enabled, or the tablet needs to be restarted)...
I can't use Windows 8 because:
1. I hate it
2. I can't manipulate it like I can in Windows 7 or 10


I did write a script that will disabled and re-enabled the adapter, but any small network disruption will crash my program...
So I want to try Windows 7...
