I don't think its that, this is what I used personally on h87 performance and it worked and it did not work on z690 UD DDR4: With DEVICE=HIMEMX.EXE /MAX=64M, [386Enh] SysVMEMSLimit=2048 MaxPhysPage=40000 [vcache] MaxFileCache=344064 that person that has win98 working on bios 2020 and the only thing changed was to bios 2021 and he got vcache error, he said he tried different system.ini settings and it was the same error.He rolled back to the old bios and win98 booted successfully again. msfn.org/board/topic/183543-win-9598me-vcache-error-after-updating-bios-on-a-new-motherboard/#comment-1218683 msfn.org/board/topic/184539-windows-98se-running-on-intel-9th-gen-platform-feat-ati-x700-pci-e-and-aureal-8810/#comment-1241763 I thought to try uefi with csm in QEMU, and then to try to change modules, from bios 2020 with issues to > QEMU uefi to see what happens. It happened I got the same error without modifing the QEMU uefi bios. qemu(-m 256) using OVMF with csm (uefi bios) edk2.git-ovmf-x64-0-20200422.1378.ge54310451f.noarch.rpm QEMU = msfn.org/board/uploads/monthly_2023_06/vcache_error_qemu.png.88b7598bb97a15fb28160cf3c53fdb5d.png Real hardware: msfn.org/board/uploads/monthly_2022_01/IMG_0888_.jpg.0a01710ae210bc7c8d7d4e430e8eb624.jpg Both stop at : 0028:C03819A6 MOV [EDX+00000100],EAX And without using OVMF with csm (uefi bios), the same c.img boots win98

I tried to install with uefiseven, I passed the installation with usb, then I did not understand what to do, it freezes on starting windows
Have you first tested that your GPU is supported ? Even if your GPU IS supported, UefiSeven offers limited 1024x768 non-accelerated resolution as drivers for >2017 GPUs are literally non-existent while impossible to port new >=win10 drivers best bet for extending the Win7 life is the Backporting the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter driver from Windows 8 Build 7963 to Windows 7 a Work in Progress concept rather than an actual project at this time
Successfully installed and boot win7 on intel 10th Lenovo laptop (without CSM)! Inject nvme and usb driver in the image before install. Steps for modifying EFI partition are as simple as below: 1. use uefiseven latest for sure, but only for the efi\microsoft\boot directory. 2. in efi\boot\, use this bootx64.efi drive.google.com/file/d/1DFuobt-jx2hs0JH7Gj-UE0ral8wUMlNx/view?usp=drive_link 3. in efi\microsoft\boot, include this bootmgfw.original.efi (seem to be a win8 version) drive.google.com/file/d/1HREiLIRqKHEJShxlVdARhzEq9W8RLngw/view?usp=drive_link That's all. No need to mess with other files. Note, this EFI only boots win7 maybe win 8 as well, but cannot boot win10. Interestingly, it seems that the first-time installation of win7 and booting in an already installed win7 have different requirement of bootmgfw.original.efi. As I listed above, you must use the win8 bootmgfw.original.efi to install win7. However, once win7 is already installed, you can use a win10 bootmgfw.efi as bootmgfw.original.efi, and then you can boot into both win10 and an installed win7...
I've use it to boot all windows under UEFI on real H310 machine, from Xp 64 to W11. I've done a patch to it, to have full resolution under Xp 64, because I don't have a real GPU driver for it, I use Vbemp wich acts as a Gop wrapper.
questions: in step 2- do you mean copy the bootx64.efi to the efi partition efi\boot in step 3- copying bootmgfw.original.efi to efi\microsoft\boot , does windows use that file "as is" or do we rename it to bootmgfw.efi my setup dell 7040 mini, i5 6th gen, in win10 eufi mode /no csm/ no secure, ssd /no nvme. injected usb3.0 drivers but didnt work. installed win7 in eufi w/csm, installed and booted and updated all drivers, i5 6th gen, all is good. turn off csm, rebooted win7 and freezes hard at logo, but my laptop has no option for csm. i have an acer laptop w/8th gen intel and bios has no legacy support, no csm option, only eufi with secure option to be on or off. goal is to install win7x64 on laptop if you ask how i got to this point, its been a couple of days trying a dozen things and lots of reading, i cant remember which iso i used, what parameters i set, but installing win10 first was my first step, then installing windows so i could copy drivers to the win7 partition, i know there are other ways but i already had a ssd w/win10 on it that i wasnt using or cared if it got messed up.
Please Explain More, I Can't Get Into The Installation Process. The First Step Is Confusing Me. Which Media Did You Choose ? Which Tool Did You Practiced For Iso Driver Injection Step ? Can You Create A Video To Show Us What Have You Done ?
Hi @Seven4ever ! How did you patch UefiSeven to get full resolution? I'm always stuck with 1024x768 resolution. Can you show me how to patch the resolution?
Two methods: First: take source code from Github, replace all instances of 1024*768 by your max Gop resolution, them recompile it. Second: take the compiled binary, unassemble it and patch it via an hex editor. For Xp, you must patch corresponding Winload.efi for the same resolution.
@Seven4ever I tried the first method by compiling it, but instead it spit out a bunch of error that has something to do with GenFw. The second method i haven't tried, because i don't know how to disassemble things. I can use hex editor, but i don't know the places that i need to edit. Can you give me the offset that i need to edit? Info: - Screen res: 1366x768 - UefiSeven ver: 1.30
