Windows 7 on 2020 MacBook Pro

[GD 2W10]

Hi,

I am trying to install Windows 7 on a 2020 MacBook Pro: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-i5-2.0-quad-core-13-2020-4-thunderbolt-3-ports-scissor-specs.html I integrated NVME and USB 3.0 drivers (from XP2ESD pack) and deployed it using DISM. I then used the FlashBootPro 3.3n UEFI boot files. I also used canonking’s modified ACPI: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TzRuYxRzaBaG5V4RUWpGGbgGSaSOgIWs/view. However, when I try to boot it, this happens: https://youtube.com/shorts/VrJDFs4QXGA?si=xDlrnrKOwciKrgd0. It hangs for some reason. How do I get past this?

UPDATE: I've gotten the Windows 7 PE to boot. However, I cannot interact with the Mac at all, even with USB drivers slipstreamed.
