GD 2W10 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) Hi, I am trying to install Windows Vista on my Surface Pro 1. I installed it similarly to the way I installed Windows 7 However, I installed it in a VM first with the files on another partition, then force installed Intel HD 4000 Graphics drivers, and USB 3.0 drivers. When I deleted the Windows 7 partition, and booted it on my Surface Pro 1 with the FlashBootPro EFI files, it booted successfully into Vista (it played the startup sound), but it hung at a black screen, and I am unable to see the screen. I have even tried connecting it to an external monitor, and still nothing happened. Edited February 6, 2023 by Tripredacus removed link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickedandroid Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Does the black screen only happen after you installed the Intel HD 4000 driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened before and after. I tried vanilla Vista (with Extended Kernel integrated), and Vista with Intel HD 4000 installed. Both boot into Windows (the Vista startup sound is played), but nothing like a mouse cursor, the Vista orb, or the logon screen shows up. I have also successfully been able to shutdown Vista, so it’s working, just nothing is showing on the display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever saw at least the OOBE screen or the "Finishing Installation" step screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I installed Vista with Extended Kernel in a VM, installed drivers, captured with gimagex, then installed it on the Surface. It appears to hang on a black screen with no cursor, but it does boot into Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickedandroid Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Try re-make the Vista installation in VM but without the Intel HD 4000 driver installed, then re-capture into WIM file. You could try using NTOSKRNL Emu_Extender to install the Intel HD 4000 driver, do this in the Surface. Note: The driver signature enforcement must be disabled, through F8 boot menu, BCD configuration tweaking, or test mode.

Vistapocalypse Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I wonder if the problem is as simple as “Intel graphics driver does not support Vista” (and extended kernel won’t make the driver work). I would try the very old driver version recommended here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/174733-drivers-for-intel-hd-graphics-4000amd-radeon-graphics-7600m/?do=findComment&comment=1173246 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I tried myself and the newer Intel HD 4000 versions worked partially for me. The driver has no problem in Device Manager. Only DirectX 9 API causes BEX64 crashes.
