    how did you try?

     

    This is a project i am working too but it is not easy. win 7 has another boot and partition structure than 8 and 10. you need to disable things in your bios etc. It is a long list to research and I am just scratching the top of it.

    bin there, done that, saw the screen…

    the problem we are facing Chawki is that Apollo Lake is one of the many new processors what are designed just for win 10 by M$ and Intel. When you do some research like I did you will find out that a lot of people tried all kind of things to circumvent the win 7 blockage in some forums all over the internet but you never find (at least I did not) a step by step how it should work or saw pictured or youtube proof that it works.
    I am working on the wintousb method what should create portable windows on a stick what you can boot from any? some? specific? computers and run successfully.
    A big problem will be drivers especially for all the intel goodness on the boards what will only work with 10. (saw a trick to edit the inf file with some success)

    But keep me posted what are you doing and maybe we find a way together.
    i am trying first to get 8.1 to run and had first success – and when that run smoothly I will tackle 7

    greater men like us have tried…
