@Krinal It does. However, if you're planning to deploy on a real hardware, then note that the underlying codebase of WindSLIC might need some rewriting to gain compatibility with modern UEFI implementations.
Well, yes I was talking about real hardware. But I'm not expert in this field. I just gave suggestion to improve script. May be we've got an expert in MDL who can rewrite WindSLIC? As now we've got a script thanks to @exe csrss we can add support for all possible OEM Activations.
I think the easiest thing to do will be to use Clover. But I don't have any experience in using Clover unfortunately.
Clover is a popular open source bootloader mostly used for hackintoshes. It has several advantages over WindSLIC: 1) It is actively developed 2) It is much better for modern hardware 3) It has a huge community of active users
The release with switches is a release candidate. I have sent you a PM, test it and tell me if it works
@exe csrss Yes, using Clover would be a better idea IMHO, cause the project supports inserting a new SLIC table as well as dropping an existing (incomplete) one. I haven't poked around OpenCore much, but it would be an overkill to use it only for SLIC emulation.
Clover is good when user want to boot his or her machine on a pure legacy bios but in uefi mode it sucks a lot. for uefi oc bootloader is the best . [for hacknitoshers only]
Maybe it will be better on UEFI for Windows users. Tito said that using OC just for SLIC emulation was overkill.
@ShanzW7User Can you please go to the "Advanced options" tab of Daz's loader, disable access to type 4 memory, and then reinstall the loader?
Tried that, believe I tried legacy as well but I'll try legacy again. I also tried the option to ignore existing SLIC.
Going to try I guess, tried disabling type 4 and enabling legacy again, no dice. Thanks a ton for the quick responses. Also worth noting, my OS partition is actually GPT not MBR (though I could've sworn I initialized as MBR) according to my disk management tools. My bios bootmode is UEFI/Legacy, I have had trouble loading win7 before on other machines using ONLY UEFI before.
