[Research] Windows 7 and eMMC drives

[Salsito6]

Anyone has the ISO or at least the programs that User1732 used to get that result? I'm pretty new in this but I've been trying to get Windows 7 on my HP laptop for so long... It has a Hynix HGB4e for anyone asking.

I wanted to discuss an issue with porting Windows 8.1 drivers for BayTrail chipsets to Windows 7. George King mentioned that this isn't a straightforward process and would require some heavy modifications. The difficulty seems to arise from differences in functionality between Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.

Since newer chipsets typically bring additional features, I started digging around for register maps for both the "older" BayTrail and "newer" Braswell chipsets. What I found is that the base registers of these two chipsets are quite similar. This leads me to think that with the correct initialization values, it might be possible to adapt the Braswell-compatible driver to work with BayTrail.

Has anyone here tried something like this? I'd appreciate any insights, especially regarding possible challenges or tweaks that might be needed to make this work.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Does the new leaked builds do any help ?

I've actually gotten this to work, here's what I did:

I tried this on my Dell Wyse 5070 GeminiLake but Win7 installer still not see eMMC disk. My disk ID: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_31CC

I tried also replace some Vendor Device e.g. TED PCI\VEN_1679&DEV_3000 to PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_31CC in sdbus.inf but still not help:

dism /mount-wim /wimfile:boot.wim /index:2 /mountdir:mount
dism /image:mount /add-driver /forceunsigned /driver:eMMC
dism /image:mount /add-package /packagepath:Windows6.1-KB2732471-v2-x64.msu
dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:mount /commit

I run installer pressing F8 then select Disable Driver Signature Enforcement
