yeah, the whole UEFI thing looked like a massive pain in the ass that I didn't want to deal with Honestly, it looks like the only advantage of UEFI, aside from my touchpad working, is that I would be able to use a system drive larger than 2TB. Not a huge issue at the moment. I will point out that my Win7 installation uses the Win 10 installer (Windows 7 AIO 10in1 USB3 x32 x64 DUAL en-US murphy78) and the touchpad works fine during installation.... Any chance that is helpful information?
The WinPE is from 10 so it has native support. Personally I don't use the touchpad & have it disabled because a mouse is better....
