    Hello, i'm trying to dual boot windows 7 and 10 but its not the problem here..
    The problem is that windows 7 setup can't detect installation media fixed that by adding correct usb drivers.
    But the problem still exist with iNAND 32GB SandDisk DF4032 "which is integrated eMMC disk chip on a motherboard"
    windows 7 can't see the dam thing.. i don't know if its something wrong with the sata ahci controller or with the iNAND disk itself. Can't find correct drivers to integrate with a setup.

    Anyone know any trick to make all this happen ? this laptop is like hell even with a linux, compatibility is so poor..

    There are no drivers available for W7 as this machine is optimized for W10. Try first to upgrade the bios, but I think that won't be enough.

    I already know that. just experimenting and trying the impossible. i did mange to install windows 7 but it can't boot no matter what. The kill switch for this laptop is emmc disk sd or whatever you wanna call it. Windows 7 just isn't compatible with it.
    NT 6.1 PE boot's from usb just fine. So i think something is messing up with disk.sys because i always get bsod after this driver load's.

    I'm thinking is it possible to boot windows 7 with UEFI on ?

    There are new methods since i made this post but simple answer is no. There is no drivers for it. Especially for integrated emmc disk. It is possible with struggle but is it really worth it ?. At that time i did not managed to get it really usable on that laptop.
