I got it, separate loader means that it also needs to be signed by Microsoft when secure boot is enabled, but Microsoft cannot provide it. Thank you very much for your reply.
@ Flashboot Free or Pro Software Does this tool also complement an existing USB Windows 7 stick or ISO image!? Thanks

It certainly worked well for your particular case. For the general case, the program Flashboot / Pro is really excellent! I bought the Pro version and I can only recommend it! Top product...
I bought the Pro version and I can only recommend it! Top product. Everything worked as it should. Even the Windows logo is visible in the Windows 7 version! The screen is halved, but that does not bother me at all when booting!
Is it possible to install latest Nvida driver 522.25 on Windows 7! Anyone have an idea??? I have already turned off driver signing or simply through the device manager, nothing has worked..... Thanks...
No, anything over 5xx.xx is Windows 10+ only. They are DCH drivers (using Store components), so, you wouldn't have any fun using it, anyway.
One way you can try, 1. install windows 10/11 with full drivers, then run command: dism /online /export-driver /destination :E:\MyDrivers to export all drivers. 2. re-install Windows 7, and install drivers from the path export above. I did this way to install some drivers originally unavailable on Windows 7. You have to try. Good luck,
To be honest, I think you'd better stop doing meaningless things. You need to know two things. 1.INF Files INF [Manufacturer] section has listed the systems on which this driver can be installed. For 522.25，there is no [NTamd64.6.1] in inf Manufacturer section. So, 522.25 cannot be installed on Windows 7, If INF is not modified. 2.Driver kernel Files The driver kernel files of win7 and win10 are different. Theoretically, the Nvidia driver kernel files of win10 cannot work on win7. So, unless you are a Nvidia engineer, you can port nvlddmkm.sys from win10 to win7. Don't treat engineer Nvidia as a fool. Ha ha ha
It didn't work!!! The driver can not be installed... Unfortunately you are right! But to try it is also a result! Sometimes you just have to try something. I thought with though also already that it does not go, but a try shows it then really... Are there ways to adjust the kernel accordingly?
That is impossible unless you are an NVIDIA engineer. As I have mentioned above, there is a huge difference between the driver kernel files of win7 and win10. The Windows Display Driver Model aka WDDM, win7 is WDDM1.1, win10 is WDDM2.0+, win11 is WDDM3.0+.
Plus, at least on 64bit, you need a signed kernel driver. Otherwise, it'll get quickly very uncomfortable to use the modified driver.
Well, that's just the way it is! Maybe there are someday possibilities to make a modification or Nvidia thinks again to make drivers for Windows 7. Thanks to you anyway
