I was never able to get a deployment with a recovery partition to boot, and while Microsoft supposedly did support that configuration, no one could tell me how to do it. I have no clue how a multi-boot with Win7 on UEFI would work. I am just sharing it for other people who may not have known this existed. This guide was not made by me, but rather bloodhandsv over at Notebook Review.
Solved: I solved the problem using the guide from this thread: UEFI was still enabled obviously), but left everything else except for supervisor password untouched.ĭoes anyone have a fix for this freezing problem? I can boot from the USB using the 2.0 ports without any need for 3.0 drivers from what I can tell, but it freezes after the 'Starting Windows' animation plays and the Windows logo is complete and shown. In the BIOS, I disabled Secure Boot (by setting a supervisor password from the BIOS. The hardware is AMD Radeon R4 Graphics, AMD A6 Processor(?) and AMD USB 2.0 and 3.0, all of which supports Windows 7. This media did not have USB 3.0 drivers slipstreamed as this laptop also came with USB 2.0 ports in addition to 3.0 (and those 2.0 ports do work with 7's setup). Hi! I created a Windows 7 installation media in UEFI mode using Rufus with the intent to install it on an Acer Aspire A315-21 from 2019, but when I booted up the disk, it did the 'Starting Windows' animation, but then froze after the Windows logo was formed.
