[TIP] Windows 7 UEFI install without CSM

Hi,
Did anyone besides wkeller get this to work, Ive tried and its hasnt worked for me . gets stuck at updating registry entries
Thanks in advance.

 

do you have RST enabled in BIOS.
Be sure SATA mode is set to AHCI . then cross check .

 

Hello, I have followed this post's direction using windows10 ltsc's files. However when I try to boot on uefi mode, my screen would only show the windows7 logo screen and is just stuck like that. When I unplug and replug the dp cable it just shows a blank screen(not no signal). I know it did not hang during the boot up because I can hear the windows startup sound coming up on a system with nvidia driver already installed. If you got any advise for me to get it working I would really appreciate it, would love to try out resizeable bar after seeing it says "Graphic Driver Support: Yes".

 

hello, can someone give me a detailed guide, please? thaks in advance.

 

Have you tried this way? it worked for me.


UefiSeven: Easily boot Windows 7 on UEFI class 3 devices

 

I was using UefiSeven v1.30 (efi size, only 95kb) by manatails
a simple and easy fix.

 

yeah but like, I need someone to kindly explain the steps. like a tutorial or something

Usage Instructions: is in #1 post by op

simply saying,
copy a file bootx64.efi by UefiSeven into two different folders. \efi\boot and \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\
renaming the file at the two folders, once when boot. another before re-boot (2nd boot)

I did read all posts from post #1 to last pg, pg#17, to understand all issues and fixes.

 

my understanding, the solution is NOT working for AMD

Lucky, my computers all are Intel. hence no issues.

 

hello, I just tried that, and it says error cannot find original and bootmgr

 

not working on Gigabyte H510M-H rev 1.3

 

hi, I recently tried a few minutes ago, but it gives an error: cannot find the original boot EFI and also cannot find boot mgr. what do I do?

 

I will be having time weekend only. see if weekend I can help.

which step now you are? can you get 1st boot done? now pending on 2nd boot (reboot). your computer may get freezing up when reboot, , , "Start Windows" but never moves ahead.

 

Haven't seen your update.

hopefully your problem is fixed

 

I wish it was, I guess you can't install Windows 7 on an core i7 comet lake... but thanks anyway... maybe I don't know how to use the shell to copy uefiseven to bootx64...

 

please search (this forum NOT allow link)

Solved W7 and Intel Core i5-10400 Comet Lake

looks doable.
1. prepare install media, copy it into a USB drive.
2. on the USB drive, copy a file bootx64.efi by UefiSeven into folder \efi\boot. and rename.
now try to boot and install. computer should go until install finished, now re-boot.
3. when re-boot, power down computer. using shell, copy a file bootx64.efi by UefiSeven (same file) into another folders. \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\ and rename.

you can read op several times to get more tips. I just followed op. not simply easy. but in UEFI install, that's easiest fix.

 

does this forum not allow for one to dm link as well? if it does please do?
