FantasyAcquiesce Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Hello MSFN, I am wondering if it would be possible for me to install Windows Vista or 7 on PC w/ ACPI issues for anything older than Windows 8. I recall my all-in-one Dell PC from 2013 giving me a BSoD after installing Windows 7 because of ACPI issues. Is there any updated file for Windows Vista or 7 systems? I am hoping to use one of those instead of Windows 8/10. SATA drivers shouldn't be a problem because even Windows XP has unofficial drivers that will probably work on Vista/7. USB 3.0 is also covered for XP and later. I am desperately seeking ACPI 5.0 on Windows 7. Thank you for your time. Edited February 20, 2024 by FantasyAcquiesce
Ximonite Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 This is a very strange issue. I have never seen Windows 7 give a BSoD related to ACPI. Even Windows Vista SP2 unmodified has no ACPI issues on my Ryzen computer. The only thing I can think of that would cause that is a BIOS setting.

I remember a lenovo computer, i had ACPI related issues on GNU/Linux the first time i tried installing, after upgrading the bios the problem got solved. Idk if is correct but maybe upgrading the BIOS... Edited May 23, 2020 by MrNadix comma
