No you can install either oses first. I installed Windows 10 on a computer first, then installed Vista. Both OSes still worked. It is not like XP which 8.1 would be unusable unless you install BCD bootloader with EasyBCD.

1. If you have more than 4 GB of RAM then install x64. If you have less, install x86. 2. You need to install SP1 first, then SP2 3 and 4. I do not know and I don't think you need to do that.

Yes it does. Yes that is what I meant.

Hi, I have an SP6 running Windows Server 2012 R2. I have not been able to get Windows 8.1 or 7 on there. My Surface Pro 6 has a Kaby Lake proccessor. Would it be possible to install Windows XP on a Surface Pro 6? I know that this is not straightforward and I would need to install XP x64 on a NVME VM with NvME drivers, copy files from Vista Build 5219, change the boot mode to UEFI, and backup and deploy the VM with Macrium Reflect. I am also going to post something similar on the Windows Vista section.

Hi, I have an SP6 running Windows Server 2012 R2. I have not been able to get Windows 8.1 or 7 on there, but I heard that there was someone who ran Windows Vista on UEFI on a Skylake proccesor. My Surface Pro 6 has a Kaby Lake proccessor. Would it be possible to install Windows Vista on a Surface Pro 6? I know I would need to deploy the image with imagex on a Windows 8/10 PE, also install graphics and NVME drivers, and enable the Aurora boot screen. I know that network will not work. I am also going to post something similar like this on the Windows XP section of the forum.

The CPU is like i5-4xxxx.

I can't rly give you the info because idk how to do that. Also if those options I listed don't work, try installing Windows Vista with WinSetupFromUSB. Do you have a NvME hard drive? You can also try installing Vista via diskpart, imagex, and bcdboot. Boot a Windows 7/8/10/2008R2/2012/2016/2019 PE, and install Windows Vista with dism, imagex, and bcdboot (if you use anything later than 7 or 2008 R2, you will have to copy imagex over to 8 or 10).

No I stll did not.

Still did not work with the same error. setupapi.dev.log

Here is some more info: setupapi.dev.log

That is the one I tried, I tried that one again, and I got the same error, "The system cannot find the file specified.".

Hello, I have a Surface Pro 6 and Windows 8.1 did not work on there, so I installed Windows Server 2012 R2 (which is the server version of 8.1). I have tried to install the network driver for 8.1, but I get an error saying "The system cannot find the file specified". Snappy Driver Installer did not detect the driver. Here is the hardware info: PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_2B38&SUBSYS_045E0008&REV_00 PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_2B38&SUBSYS_045E0008 PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_2B38&CC_020000 PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_2B38&CC_0200 PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_2B38&REV_00 PCI\VEN_11AB&CC_020000 PCI\VEN_11AB&CC_0200 PCI\VEN_11AB PCI\CC_020000&DT_0 PCI\CC_020000 PCI\CC_0200&DT_0 PCI\CC_0200

Yes.

I installed Vista by using E2B. I do not know if Vista works on SkyLake, but there are a few things you could try: 1. Install Windows Vista via Easy2Boot 2. Install Windows Vista in a Legacy VM, then deploy it with Macrium Reflect.

I have tried one of BWC's drivers and the Uni-ATA drivers, but I still get an error. I also tried to install W2k setup files on a VM then backup the Windows 2000 installtion and restore it on my Dell with Macrium Reflect. It freezes on, "Starting Windows". Are there any other Universal AHCI drivers? Or could I try an unattend installation of Windows 2000?

Will we able to do it now since Win32 is making the extended kernel for Vista?

I was able to get XP on the Dell.

Tried it with just SP5.1 integrated and also SP5.1 + two different drivers integrated separately. It loads devices much faster with WinSetupFromUSB but I still got a BSOD with 0x0000007B.

I did. Still got a BSOD with the same error code. I am going to try WinSetupfromUSB.

I can't. Setup will not let me. Oh, I did not know that lol.

Yes.

I tried many ISOs with a lot of different drivers and USP5.1 integrated. I even used some unofficial XP AHCI drivers for my Dell from drp.su. I even integrated BWC's kernel extension. They just all end up with a BSOD with 0x0000007B while booting into setup.

I get the BSOD while booting into the DOS based setup.

I don't think it is a bad iso because I have been able to install Win2k on a VM with that same ISO I downloaded.

Tried a W2k iso with USP5.1 and Fernando's drivers (some directly from him and some from Endermanch) on a VM with Windows 8/8.1 compatibility mode. When I select textmode, it gives me an error saying one of the files is corrupted. When I try regular pnp mode, I get a BSOD with 0x0000007B. Did it on a VM so I would not waste time rebooting a lot.
