I wonder what the crashes look like now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakob99 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) How do I go about setting up the Extended Kernel? I have a 2019 Acer Aspire A315-21 with AMD Radeon R4 Graphics with Windows Vista installed to a spare hard drive (The OEM copy of Windows 10 is safe and sound on its original drive), and want to try to get drivers such as graphics working. All the drivers for this model, of which you can view here https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/7208?b=1, has Windows 7 support. I was able to get most of the drivers listed there to work when I previously had 7 on the drive before wiping it for Vista. A few such as Elan Touchpad, I had to grab from Google Search. For the AMD Graphics, I had to download them from AMD's website. Despite the graphics card featuring Windows 7 support, it did not have my variant in the file (which is code-named Stoney Ridge), so it did not initially install, however, after modifying the INF file to add in my graphics card with the info from Device Manager, I was able to install it with the Have Disk method. This did not install the Radeon Control Panel, but that should be working if you open up Start Menu, navigate to the AMD Radeon folder, and manually start it, and then restart the system. It is also advised to not use the Have Disk method like I did, but rather browse to where AMD dropped the files, and let Windows search (make sure Include Subfolders is checked). By me trying this, it can help us get Windows Vista working on a 2019 laptop, that ironically still has driver support for Windows 7 even though the Acer site only has Windows 10 to chose from for the available drivers.

It might be possible to mod the 15.100 embedded drivers to work with the laptop as the GPU appears to be based off of the same GCN architecture as the R9 200/300 series Edited October 4, 2020 by asdf2345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a link to it? How would I go about modding them? Would I just need to add in my processor into the INF file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the driver might work by itself, just manually select the Radeon R4 Graphics in the .inf using device manager, and see if it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacing the Vista install on the laptop with one that has the updates needed for Extended Kernel. Will get back to you on what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
