    Hello,

    my laptop specs are

    intel celeron n4020
    uhd 600
    sandisk DA4064

    acer.com/us-en/support/product-support/TravelMate_B118-M

    this is uefi class 3 and it is almost impossible (in my prespective) to install windows 7 in my laptop i tried over 3 years to do so. UEFIseven does not work none of that simple steps to installing windows 7 work i tried everything i cant install windows 7 it doenst boot at all!!!!

    and for some reason i tried doing this:
    i tried windows 8 build 8108 development preview which is milestone 3 was earliest builds to have UEFI support and i realised that it has boot.stl inside of "C:\Windows\Boot\EFI" and that booted windows 8 earliest builds and windows 10 also does same and efi and those files are double the size and windows 7 efi files and startup MUST have acer logo at boot or else it wont work.............

    i will provide these C:\Windows\Boot\ entire folder in zip with C:\Windows\Firmware that has file BIOS_1.24.fd and is 10kb as download file plz just tell me in comments if needed

    and my laptop has GOP it is also important. i checked windows 7 iso from ntlite and most of drivers are doing fine other than some charging or some of that driver stuff which i am going to use driverpack forced windows 7 drivers and that'll be fine other than that drivers work

    and also when i normally install windows 7 and go in safe mode it also crashes but last thing it crashes is disk.sys my laptop has ACHI too in the bios so this might be next step but MAYBE not i will say after finishing starting patch

    i am going to be doing this experiment while dualbooting so i can try it infinitely!! also do not worry i have windows 10 usb for reinstall if needed.

    and my laptop is piece of rubbish piece of s**t it does not let me customize anything in bios i cant even change anything such as ACHI so it is much harder i can only change secure boot

    end of talking a lot

    i will be happiest ever if i get windows 7 working in my laptop i really really really want it please help me i will try to install it no matter how much time of my life it will take please help me to install it. thank you for putting time on this thread i hope you all best luck on everything especially who helps me :) <3
