    Hi, on my RX 6650 XT there's no code 12 but there's also no graphical acceleration present at all.

    The VGA patch will be a game changer. Just purchased 3.3s Pro, so look forward to trying it out.

    Laptop stuff. Not anything gamer or desktop related. You can get 3.3s for 1/2 price right now - even though it's cheap enough already.

    Thanks for this. If its possible to make an ACPI patcher to prevent A5 BSOD , that would be great,

    F I was using the flashbootpro.efi that you manually downloaded that I guess originated from the winraid forums. So eh don't have flashbootpro.

    Anyone know how to manually fix the vga aberration yourself?

    I looked at cannonkong's post but no idea what commands he ran or how he fixed the vga aberration truthfully.

    So if anyone knows how he did it can anyone please share how if possible?

    I see that there is a lot of interest in the topic of the new patch to the UEFI bootloader and VGA arbitration. I will try to organize a giveaway on the MyDigitalLife forums in the next days.

    Thanks! Does the forum know if an installation based on UEFISeven can be secure booted?

    I was not able to secure boot a system installed using Flashboot Pro. I'm guessing that's because Flashboot modified the boot files, thereby removing the signature(s) required for secure boot?

    On gigabyte MB with i9100 it's working here. You have to register the hash from your Uefiseven efi file to EFI firmware to boot under secure boot. I have Hull H.265 video decompression capabilty because I have the driver for W7, not sure if you can have this result after Intel gen 9

    Thanks so much! I still need to learn how to register the hash from the UEFI7 efi file into the firmware.

    Dumb question, I think my firmware takes a SHA-256 hash. So I use certutil to obtain that for the EFI file that's provided by UEFISeven?

    You have to run KeyTool.efi from a live Linux media for the job.

    Thanks so much, this is probably what I'll end up using. I browsed my firmware's GUI a few weeks ago, and I don't really remember seeing a lot of key management options in there.

    I took the quick and easy solution for UEFI installation of Win 7, by transferring the install.wim to the Win 10 USB.

    I have licenses for both 10 & 7 on the machine, but I see the Win 7 methodology for branding is not used in the Win 10 USB.

    So this easy installation gives me the base version of Win 7, even though I have Ultimate product keys.

    Anyone know how to force Ultimate, so I can access my 32gb RAM, instead of being limited to 8gb ?

    By the way, this 10/7 installation method appears to work around a lot of the issues in class 2 UEFI. When I turn off CSM, I can still hear it boot up (so I'm assuming that adding the GPU driver to my set-up will fix the video issue). The only shortcoming I can perceive at the moment is having to go back to CSM if I ever need to use the recovery environment.

    You have to install Uefiseven on installed EFI partition and follow instruction fom Github.
