    The CPU itself is apparently 6-7 years old already. If your laptop's bios has Legacy BIOS mode or UEFI-CMS - it's possible to install windows 7(if only UEFI-CSM is available, then only windows 7 x64 will be an option, x86 won't run most likely).

    Maybe you need an emmc driver.

    sometimes those "gen2" W7 ISOs can get bloated & come with unwanted stuff (ex. w7 "telemetry" patches) - that's one reason why we don't advocate using "homebrew" isos

    It was not that what i meant, i can't care less about win 7 level telemetry, they manage to screw up installs, IF they install at all, running for over an hour in the past, putting more languages in, doing all kinds of stuff that simply could have done offline and not documenting the things they changed, chopped or integrated. If we see an install with problems it's most likely a gen2 install or other crappy released ISOs on torrents.
