  1. Yes, it should work. I installed Windows 2000 on a Dell Inspiron 15R-5537 (Haswell), and @Illen got NT 3.51 on a Skylake machine. You will either have to turn on ATA/IDE emulation for SATA, or integrate your own SATA drivers, which is what I did.
  2. If you are trying to install Vista on a Surface Pro or UEFI-only machine, this tutorial is for you. This tutorial shows you how to install Windows Vista on a Surface Pro. This tutorial is meant for the Surface Pro 1, but could work on any other UEFI-only device, which it should, but not guaranteed. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Boot the USB. This ISO uses a Windows 10 PE, but has a Windows Vista install.wim. 2. Open command prompt by pressing "Shift+F10" 3. On the command prompt, type in the following commands: diskpart sel dis 0 clean conv gpt cre par efi size=100 form quick fs=fat32 assign letter w cre par pri form quick assign letter c exit D:\ (where your USB is) cd sources dism /apply-image /imagefile:install.wim /index:1 /applydir:C:\ - If DISM doesn't work, go to D:\support\tools\gimagex and deploy the image with gimagex.exe in the x64 folder bcdboot C:\Windows /s W: 4. Open up Notepad, and click "Open" or "Save As". Enable all files to be viewed. Go to W:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot and copy the BCD file and paste it onto the Windows Vista partition. 5. Go back to diskpart by typing "diskpart" in the command prompt. 6. Type in the following commands: sel dis 0 sel vol w form quick fs=fat32 exit 7.. Go back to Notepad, and click "Open" or "Save As". Enable all files to be viewed. Go to the USB drive, then go to the FlashBootPro folder, then copy the "EFI" folder. 8. Go to W:\ and paste the EFI folder. 9. Go to the Windows Vista partition and cut "BCD". 10. Go to W:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot and paste "BCD" on the folder. 11. Reboot. You should be logged in to the Administrator account. Narrator is enabled on the device. If the screen is not displaying anything, go to screen resolution and set it to 1024x768. The screen should now work. Proof of Windows Vista working on Surface Pro 1: IMPORTANT NOTE: If you try to install Vista on a SP2 or higher or a post-Ivy Bridge machine, your machine will have a lot of bugs and issues as all Vista post-Ivy Bridge machines do.
  3. If you have tried to install Windows 7 on a Surface Pro, or a UEFI-only device., you may have noticed it hangs on "Starting Windows" or gives error 0xc000000d, or you might have seen the following message: However, this article proves that it isn't impossible to achieve this. This tutorial shows you how to install Windows 7 on a Surface Pro. This tutorial is meant for the Surface Pro 1, but could work on any other UEFI-only device, which it should, but not guaranteed. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Boot the USB. This ISO uses a Windows 10 PE, but has a Windows 7 install.wim. 2. Open command prompt by pressing "Shift+F10" 3. Type in setup.exe /noreboot 4. Go through setup normally. 5. On the command prompt, type in "diskpart" 6. Type in the following commands: sel dis 0 lis par sel par 1 (where your boot partition is) assign letter w exit 7. Open up Notepad, and click "Open" or "Save As". Enable all files to be viewed. Go to W:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot and copy the BCD file and paste it onto the Windows 7 partition. 8. Go back to diskpart by typing "diskpart" in 9. Type in the following commands: sel dis 0 sel vol w form quick fs=fat32 exit 10. Go back to Notepad, and click "Open" or "Save As". Enable all files to be viewed. Go to the USB drive, then go to the FlashBootPro folder, then copy the "EFI" folder. 11.Go to W:\ and paste the EFI folder. 12. Go to the Windows 7 partition and cut "BCD". 13. Go to W:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot and paste "BCD" on the folder. 14. Reboot. Setup should continue normally. NOTE: For some reason, Windows will NOT boot if any USB devices are connected. Any time you boot into 7, you MUST disconnect them, boot into 7, then connect them again. Wifi is integrated but doesn't work. You will need to purchase a separate USB wireless adapter. Proof of Windows 7 installed on Surface Pro 1:
  4. I tried this. I got the 0xc0000025 error on the SP1 and the VM. The SP1 said that "winload.efi" was either missing or corrupt when it is infact present, while on the VM it let me boot with driver signature enforcement off, but then says that "An unexpected error has occured."
  5. Hi, Is it possible to install Windows XP x64 on a Surface Pro 1, which is an Ivy Bridge machine (i5-3317U)? I have been able to install Windows 7 and Vista on the machine, even though Microsoft says it is unsupported because it's a UEFI-only device with no CSM, and now want to see if I can install Windows XP on there. I plan to use the Server 2008 winload.efi and FlashBootPro EFI files, or use the Quibble EFI files, to boot Windows XP (it is possible to boot XP on UEFI, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skzTESTEESA), and integrate drivers such as SATA drivers. I have been thinking of either installing XP in CSM on a VM, then adding the drivers (Intel HD Graphics 4000 and SATA drivers), and the EFI files, then backing up and imaging with Macrium Reflect, or using XP2ESD to install, which I haven't had success with on a VM as on the first boot, it fails to boot and gives me the 0xc0000098 error and says rcraid.sys is either missing or corrupt (and yes, I do disable driver signature enforcement). How would I get past that error? Other than running Windows XP in a VM, what solution would work?
  6. I was able to fix the problem. I tried a clean install of Server 2008 and it worked, all I needed to do was enable Narrator and change resolution. The screen then worked. I will be trying the same thing with regular Vista, which I expect to work. I plan to post a guide on how to install Vista on the Surface Pro 1, then move on to installing XP and maybe ReactOS if I can get XP working.
  7. Yes. However, my post only includes successful methods to clean install (the upgrade method MIGHT work, but the last time I tested it it didn’t).
  8. Do I need to have Windows 7? Or would Windows 11 be fine. I'm fine either way, as I have a 7 and 11 dualboot
  9. It might be possible to install Windows 7 on that device. It looks like you have a Surface Go 3, which is a 10th gen Intel, which is unsupported, but it is possible to run Windows 7 on that device, as I have on my MSI GF63 Thin. I have also successfully installed Windows 7 on the Surface Pro 1, which is a UEFI-only device, see here for more info: You can use the ISO linked in the post, which uses the Windows 10 PE, and follow the same directions, but you will have to modify the ISO by making a new Windows 7 install.wim by taking the original one, and slipstreaming drivers into it. You will need to slipstream a USB 3.0 driver, which you can get here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/usb-3-xhci-driver-stack-for-windows-7.81934/, and a graphics driver, but I am pretty sure such drivers do not exist for Windows 7, but you may not need them. You will also need to use FlashBootPro EFI files or UEFISeven for WIndows 7 to boot, but I would recommend the former, as it worked for me. FlashBootPro EFI files should be included in the ISO, so you should be able to boot Windows 7 with those files. However, it looks like you have an eMMC SSD, and I'm not sure if it is possible to install Windows 7 on an eMMC SSD, but @George King has claimed to have done so. See these posts for more info: The NTOSKRNL Emu_Extender can be used for the eMMC SSD and potentially the graphics drivers, and maybe Wi-Fi drivers, which will not work with Windows 7, so you may have to use a wireless adapter. You can also look at XP2ESD (https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/tool-xp2esd-create-modern-windows-xp-installer-v1-6-2.82935/). In the folders, there may be some helpful apps/drivers to help you install Windows 7. Another thing to mention is that I have tried to install Windows 8.1 on a Surface Pro 6, but I get the INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR BSOD. I don't know if it will be the case for your Surface Go 3, but it's worth mentioning. I tried Server 2012 R2 and it worked flawlessly, so maybe you could try using Server 2008 R2. You can also try deleting the IntelPMT.sys driver, here is how you can do so: If all else fails, and you only want Windows 7 for the interface, I made a modded version of Windows 8.1 that looks almost identical to Windows 7, or you can install Windows 8 8056 which is the closest build to Windows 7 that has built-in eMMC support, which can be found here. I can't post the links here, but you can look them up. The only caveat is that you have to set the BIOS date to 7/27/2011, then somehow debomb it after. It has some elements of the Windows 7 interface, such as Aero, but also has some elements of the Windows 8 interface, such as the login screen and start screen.
  10. How do I do that? How do I integrate it into Vista? How do I make this work with graphics drivers? How do I do that?
  11. How do I do that? How do I integrate it into Vista? I am trying to use this to install Vista on a Surface Pro 1, and want to use Intel HD 4000 Graphics, so how do I make this work with graphics drivers?
  12. Where can I find the NTOSKRNL_Emu_Extender? How do I install it?
  13. No. I installed Vista with Extended Kernel in a VM, installed drivers, captured with gimagex, then installed it on the Surface. It appears to hang on a black screen with no cursor, but it does boot into Vista.
  14. It happened before and after. I tried vanilla Vista (with Extended Kernel integrated), and Vista with Intel HD 4000 installed. Both boot into Windows (the Vista startup sound is played), but nothing like a mouse cursor, the Vista orb, or the logon screen shows up. I have also successfully been able to shutdown Vista, so it’s working, just nothing is showing on the display.
  15. Hi, I am trying to install Windows Vista on my Surface Pro 1. I installed it similarly to the way I installed Windows 7 However, I installed it in a VM first with the files on another partition, then force installed Intel HD 4000 Graphics drivers, and USB 3.0 drivers. When I deleted the Windows 7 partition, and booted it on my Surface Pro 1 with the FlashBootPro EFI files, it booted successfully into Vista (it played the startup sound), but it hung at a black screen, and I am unable to see the screen. I have even tried connecting it to an external monitor, and still nothing happened.
  16. I have tried the regular GTX 1650 drivers. They don't work.
  17. Hi, I have Windows 7 and Windows 11 dual booted on my MSI GF63 Thin 10SC. I am trying to find graphics drivers for Windows 7. I have integrated Intel 10th Gen graphics and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 with Max-Q Design graphics card. I couldn't find Win7 drivers for neither (I couldn't find anything on drp.su), nor did the one for the regular 1650 didn't work. These are the hardware IDs for each graphics card: Intel UHD: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9BC4&SUBSYS_12F41462&REV_05 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 with Max-Q Design: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1F9D&SUBSYS_12F41462&REV_A1
