@Dietmar Is it this CNVi Wlan driver 9560 base wdiwifi or not？ For win7，we need to port the kmdf1.31 and wdiwifi.sys from win10, and need to modify the WiFi cards drivers.

We can get the kmdf1.31, wdiwifi, ndis, intel wifi6/7divers here. https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/3-posts-for-extending-win7-on-new-hardwares.89805/#post-1910425

If Intel 9560AC can work on Xp, I think other Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 cards also can work on Xp too. Most Wi-Fi 5/6/6E/7 cards can work well on win7 now, but MT7927, QCNCM865 can not.

Use IDA Pro to edit the KMDF 1,15~1.19 file: DriverEntry: 48 to C3 Use "mov eax, 0C0000001h" to relace the unsupport IAT, jut need to fix relace IoGetActivityIdIrp and PoFxRegisterDevice For Extimer, find ExAllocateTimer, than make it don out use Extimer IAT, like jz $LN10 to jmp $LN10, it will use FxTimer::_FxTimerDpcThunk, not use FxTimer::_FxTimerExtCallbackThunk. Than all unsupport IATs, just use a short support IAT to replace them use PETools, also can nop them because they will not be used. But for KeInitializeSpinLock only can use RtlRunOnceInitialize repalce it.

Realtek win10 drivers need KMDF 1.15. KMDF1.15~1.19 port to win7 is not hard. We successfully made KMDF 1.15~KMDF 1.33 work on win7. win10 usb driver also can work on win7. WiFI6/6E and some WiFi7 also can work now, need to extand win7 ndis.sys to support wdi, need to port wdiwifi.sys from win10. Here is the driver:https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/3-posts-for-extending-win7-on-new-hardwares.89805/

Only have mod drivers, and it needs kmdf1.15, so need to port the wdf0100.sys driver from win10 1507, than mod the realtek win10 driver.

@Dietmar csmwrap not have any INT13 problem. It was never the issue. I was able to boot DOS successfully on my Arrow Lake machine, also can boot XP system but meet A5/7E BSOD.

@Dietmar What about your bios setting？Security boot and fast boot must be disabled. And I recommend you only use only one disk to test it, because not all the machines will boot the NVMe or SATA or USB first, csmwrap only load the first disk it detects. Your disk must be MBR mode, I recommend you install the system use WinNTsetup in PE, after installing the system, not to reboot the machine before you delete the hole EFI folder in that system disk, and you need to build a new EFI\Boot folder and rename the csmwrap.efi to bootx64.efi into that folder. Than reboot the machine and remove the USB drive.

@Dietmar The board is Maxsun Z890-A Wi-Fi. This motherboard is a bit expensive, about €116. If the price is higher than this, it is not recommended to purchase it

@Dietmar The ARL platform will A5 BSOD with Xp sp3，when I fix A5 bsod problem，then I meet 7E BSOD.

@Dietmar If you want wo boot the system on Intel ARL platform, use csmwrap 1.2.0 version. Also need an AMD cards which its GOP version can not higher than 1.54.0.0.0, than it will be work. I used R5-240 and Radeon 520 flash mod vbios, than they work.

@Dietmar For example, I have a 256G SSD. Utilize DiskGenius to convert the format of this 256GB hard disk to MBR mode, and subsequently create two primary partitions. One of these partitions must be formatted in FAT32 with a size ranging from 100MB to 300MB. Next, establish a folder titled "EFI\BOOT" within this partition and place the file "bootx64.efi" (formerly known as "csmwrap.efi") inside the "EFI\BOOT" folder. The other primary partition can be formatted as either FAT32 or NTFS for the purpose of installing the operating system. Upon startup, the computer will automatically boot from "bootx64.efi", which will then search for and initiate the operating system from the installed hard drive. And one important thing, disable Above 4g MMIO BIOS Assignment, only gigabye intel 800 series mainboads have this setting. If you not have gigabye intel 800 series mainboads, I thing can give up. Because I tried to disable it for ASUS/MSI, but faild, even I used mod bios.

@Dietmar It only can work on MBR disk, don’t use gpt.

It is a H810 ITX board, need to disable above 4G decoding，than use wrap seabios to load the old system. win7 can work well now. But dos/xp need to fix some bugs.

I think we are close to make dos/xp system on it. I can not post the picture here due to it limit 25Kb. Here is the test. SeaBIOS （version rel-1.15.0-0-g2dd469b-dirty-20211209_154707-nico) Press ESC for boot menu. Select boot device: AHCI/0: INTEL SSDSCZBX016T4 ATA-10 Hard-Disk (1490 GiBytes) AHCI/1: INTEL SSDSC2BX0164 ATA- 10 Hard-Disk (1490 GiBytes)
