Extract it on your Win 7 ISO in the “efi\boot” folder and rename it to bootx64.efi https://winraid.level1techs.com/uploads/short-url/cO7hh6F4VX6SAr5Ue4PseiNX4Oz.zip

It says UEFI GOP protocol has unsupported pixel format. For me it stucks at Starting Windows but there is sound and system actually works, just the graphics are frozen. I have ASUS B660M-K D4 with an i5-12400F. GTX 1650 SUPER. It works with CSM but I don't want to use it

It does work, tried Uefi7 to no avail. But beware it might show a "Unexpected error occured" in WBM. No issues right now tho.

Use this instead, if uefi7 fails.

to anyone getting a bsod like above, perhaps try the following: https://www.reddit.com/r/windows7/comments/16ewpg7/fix_0x000000a5_acpi_error/

for me i just used a modified iso using the win10 installer "https://archive.org/details/win7-x64_eng" so i could at least get it to download, then replaced the acpi.sys file found in "Windows\System32\drivers" with my 2nd hard drive. works like a charm

I tested this on Dell Optiplex 3000 w/ N5105. Honestly, I was impressed. The installer, which had stumbled on Starting Windows, started up and reached the installation startup screen display. But then the PC lost USB. USB keyboard and mouse didn't work at all. Probably the installation USB media too. I wonder if the installer's USB driver isn't working. This problem could be avoided by using PS/2 devices, but it's not easy to find a motherboard with PS/2 input.

This works, but if you're dualbooting Windows 11 you have to swap out the bootmgfw.efi file with the usual bootmgfw.efi file that is installed. Does someone know a way to fix that or at least automate the process?
