I want to install Windows 7 on my XMG A517 very badly but I always end up with the 0x000000a5 ACPI BoSD after the install or while booting from USB. I tried many different isos and adding NVMe, USB 3.0 support but I got none to work. What can I do? (The laptop has a very limited American Megatrends UEFI and I can pretty much only turn UEFI on or off)
