winvispixp Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) you can't even get vista installed on that laptop, it's simply too new Edited August 15, 2021 by winvispixp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergiaws Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 In that case, what about Windows 7? He just want to install an old Windows together with 10. And for my case, if I buy a new computer, what about installing Vista? Any new hardware supporting it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I would think that it is possible. It's difficult for my skill level to be able to confirm without the hardware in front of me, admittedly. But I can confirm that I went down an extremely similar road and I emerged victorious. In my case, it was an Acer Aspire X AXC-704G. Comes with Win10 x64 and 4GB DDR3. By using NLite and adding SATA AHCI drivers to my XP x86 and XP x64, I have been able to get both of them to install on a computer too new for XP. I cannot get USB 3.0 to work but it wasn't really a priority and isn't really a necessity for a freebie just being used in the garage to run VLC Media Player. I had to start from ground zero and work my way up. The very first step was deciphering error codes that a BSOD gave me when I tried to install XP without NLite'ing SATA AHCI drivers. That led me to BIOS changes which then led me to SATA AHCI drivers. So from that, can you tell us what BSOD errors you get when you try to install Vista?

Sergiaws Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 That's not my computer, is my friend who wanted to install an old OS. I have Vista with extended kernel on a 2013 computer. I searched the info about the hardware and provided Hardware Ids of some drivers. He has that computer since 2019, and I can't answer your questions because I don't have that computer infront of me.

NotHereToPlayGames Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 That makes it very difficult to go from here. I picked three totally at random id's from your list and they all have Vista (and XP) drivers available. But I base that solely on googleing them and looking through the driveridentifier.com list for the presence of Vista. That's usually all I need to do when tracking down drivers for a new install.
