is that soemthing different from what I have already done?
i've disabled the secure boot.
i've enable the legacy boot.
i've changed the order of the boot so that internal cd/dvd rom is the first boot device.
the computer asked me to confirm the boot device change, which I did.
now how do i add a boot menu item?
I've tried rebooting and it doesn't give me the option to reboot into windows 7
To boot into windows 7, you need a boot menu entry that points at it.
You need a boot menu entry for each operating system (OS). Then you should be able to select which OS to boot into.
If you have OS on separate hard drives, then one way is to select which hard drive to boot from in bios. That assumes you have the necessary boot files and boot menu entry on each hard drive.
Another way is to use one hard drive to boot from. That hard drive would then need entries for both operating systems.
Try selecting the windows 7 hard drive in bios to boot from.
If your windows 7 was set up as bios boot rather than efi, then you should enable the legacy option in your bios, if you have one.

I want to transfer my multiboot Win7 to a z390 motherboard. There are no official USB drivers for Win 7 for that chipset. Someone created custom USB drivers, they are available here. Without USB drivers even a mouse and keyboard won't work because there is no PS/2 port.
Will the method described in this thread work using these custom USB drivers if I point Paragon Adaptive Restore to them prior to changing the motherboard?
It should. How are you planning on integrating the usb drivers? Were you going to do it with paragon or dism++?
Do you have usb2 port on that mobo?
The motherboard I was going to buy is either GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS Ultra or Wifi.
They have USB 2.0
Yes, I was thinking of integrating the USB drivers with Paragon. I honestly don't know what
dism++ is. I haven't used Paragon either but I'm researching this subject with this great thread.
Is there a reason why this shouldn't work while people are saying that integrating these drivers into Win 7 installation ISO does work?
