So the last week I have been trying to get windows 7 via a usb (loaded with usb3 and NVME drivers) installed onto my new system, I have been trying everything from turning off everything in the BIOS to turning off UEFI boot. At first every time I would get a blue screen saying "Bios doesn't support ACPI", but after a few day of scratching my head I found out as I have an NVME drive installed I can only use UEFI boot, so I made a GPT USB and booted with UEFI on and secure boot off, but when I do that I get a error "\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD status 0x000000d" after looking around I seen that simply turning on legacy support would do the job, on this laptop you don't get the option at all, and I would assume that if I don't get the option then turning off secure boot would do just that, turn on legacy support. So does anyone have any ideas of how to get windows 7 to install on the PC (I am fully aware as I have a 7th gen processer it's "not supported", but I have a hack I know works). If anyone knows of a bios downgrade for this that I can get that might allow for legacy support. Or simply a way of getting windows 7 to work, it would be much appreciated.
If I can't get it to work I will simply send back as I do know of a couple of HP laptops that have this very support and frankly it's childish to limit me to one operating system like this, I hate windows 10.
BTW the image I am using is an ISO from Heidoc for enterprise and using gigabytes utility to apply USB and NVME drivers.
