i think we're having a misunderstanding here 'coz i don't see that kind of step in the middle of the installation process.
I don't know if the Microsoft tool creates a UEFI-CSM bootable USB. But the USB must be UEFI-CSM compatible. Then you make the changes for the drivers. It's maintaining the Legacy Mode but using the UEFI OS boot manager that causes the loop in the start.
seems like what Enthousiast was telling me was the right move after all lol. I didnt change the boot priority but when i removed the bootable usb drive it suddenly went pass the point where the loop would've start.
Usually if BIOS supports boot menu, I will set HDD first, disable PXE and just use boot menu, this way I do not have to bother with USB or DVD starting first. Except of course if BIOS puts USB device under HDD group and no boot menu option for USB, then it gets annoying shortly .
successfully installed it now but now i want to install my drivers and utilities the came with my mobo the pc cant detect my cd/dvd so that i can start installing them.
Normally the bootorder should be: 1. ssd/hdd 2. usb/dvd When I install a system I use the right F-key (MSI = F11) to use the bootmenu, there I select the installsource. On most systems it's a onetime boot from that media but some mobo's (MSI mostly) keep using that boot.
I'm SOOO HAPPY!! ))) everything went well at the end. Used Windows Loader to active my windows 7, asked me to restart then woah it says my windows 7 is Genuine! Thanks so much guys, you are all good people!
Hey guys, i need to ask a question about WU. Are all of these updates safe or first off are these updates important to my system? P.S. i already unchecked and hid the KB971033 and kb3109094 updates which were specifically instructed to be done to be able to successfully activate Windows 7 using the loader. I just wanna make sure before i install these updates.
actually all updates are safe with loader these days, and even required in some cases. As far as safe-safe, I'd check the telemetry threads and what not in the Win7 section if you are concerned with that type of updates.
