Idk if this fits in here, but I am selling some modern-ish computers that can run XP on eBay (I'm also selling a Latitude E6530, but that has official WinXP support already, so I'm not counting it. If anybody wants that listing specifically, please PM me, but be warned, it needs repairs). Here they are: Dell Inspiron 3847: Windows 7 up to 10 are supported. Windows Vista has the well-known Haswell bugs. Windows XP works great using modded AHCI drivers by Fernando. As for the XP Haswell driver, I always got a BSOD when using them. Windows 2000 works, but it requires an ACPI mod, USB2 to be fixed prior to installing (otherwise a PS/2 PCI-E addon card will have to be added and PS/2 peripherals such as a mouse and keyboard will have to be carried in), and SATA drivers. The Universal VESA driver will be needed. Realtek audio and Ethernet will work out of box. I don't think the Intel Chipset drivers will work here for both 2k and XP. This desktop was either late-2014 or early-2015, but I do know it was bought in March of 2015! Acer Aspire A315-21: Windows 7 up to Windows 11 work officially! Windows Vista works great, even the AMD chipset driver after modding them. AMD Graphics driver requires Extended Kernel to be installed first. With that in mind, all the drivers work except for WiFi (unsupported Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 card) Windows XP 64-bit will work if you use a modded ACPI and Fernando's AMD SATA driver. The AMD chipset driver will also work here as well! In fact, all the drivers except for WiFi, Realtek card reader (idk why) and Graphics do not work. If you need\want more info, you can PM me. Oh yeah, did I mention this laptop was manufactured in 2019! Out of the two machines listed here, I think the Acer Aspire A315-21 may be of much more interest here! The AMD Graphics driver wasn't originally supported with Vista, but thanks to K4sum1, it now does after you install the Extended Kernel! This might be the best laptop to run Vista on as 1. It doesn't have the Haswell problems of Intel and 2. It does not suffer from the Ryzen BSOD's. In fact, Vista runs perfect on this laptop from 2019! For the WiFi card, you can ether use the Realtek Ethernet, carry in USB WiFi, or swap out the internal QCA9377 card for something else, as that ain't working until win32 gets support for newer WiFi cards working with the Extended Kernel. AMD Graphics driver does not support Windows XP 64-bit, but K4sum1 theorized that AMD Graphics 14.4 might be workable under WinXP 64-bit, but take this with a huge grain of salt! To reiterate, all the drivers work except for WiFi, Realtek card reader (idk why as it works under Vista), and of course the AMD Graphics.

Download CFF Explorer from here: https://ntcore.com/?page_id=388 Install it and then open up acpi.sys within it. Click on Rebuilder. Uncheck "Rebuild PE Header" and check "Update Checksum" Click "Rebuild" and then the floppy disk. After, copy it back over and then load up Vista by pressing F8->Disable Driver Signature Enforcement. You have to do that every time you boot Vista otherwise either the A5 BSOD will reappear, or it will tell you the digital signature of the file cannot be verified.

I have an 11th gen Intel Tiger Lake processor with Lenovo BIOS and UEFI only mode. I tried this patch with Windows 8.0 (6.2) and it Got rid of the A5 BSOD, but when I tried this with Windows 7, it didn't work unfortunately and the A5 BSOD remained. Any advice here?

If you guys go into the Windows Vista on modern hardware thread, you'll find a Windows 7 ACPI mod. It also works with Windows 8.0, but unfortunately, it didn't detect my M.2 SSD (and I thought 8.0 had a generic driver built in for that). I tried this mod with Windows 7 along with using UEFI7, but it still froze on the Windows logo. This may suggest it's a UEFI7 problem now, but I do not know as it does not display the BSOD.

Hi! I just acquired a Lenovo Ideapad 3 with 11th Gen Intel Tiger Lake processor and Intel Iris Xe graphics and I was wondering if it was possible to install Windows 7 to it. Unfortunately, I do not have Legacy Mode so it has to be done in UEFI mode. The ISO I use has all the updates up to 2020 EOL integrated along with drivers such as Nvme, USB3, etc. It also replaces the Win7 PE with the Win8.1 PE (Windows 8.1 was tried first and installs fine). I whip up the USB as GPT in Rufus and put in the UEFI7 1.3.0 files, I install it, boot back into the media, use Shift+F10 to open up command prompt->Diskpart to assign a letter to the System partition and then a command prompt->Notepad->Open->All Files to the Windows 10 part to copy the UEFI7 file to the microsoft/boot folder on the System drive. After exiting, it tries to finish the Windows Logo, but it restarts. When I use "Disable Automatic Restart After System Failure", it simply gets stuck on the incomplete Windows Logo. When I whipped up a Windows 8.0 (6.2) GPT USB, It actually showed me the BSOD, which was NON_ACPI_COMPLIANT_BIOS, meaning this is also most definitely the case for Windows 7. Is there a modded ACPI driver for Windows 7 to get it to run on hardware such as Tiger Lake? Also, has anyone modded graphics drivers that work on Intel Tiger Lake and Windows 7/8.1? And is there any way to get the HID-Compliant touchpad/touchscreen working under 7? Both of these devices do not work under the Windows 7 8 PE nor under 8.1's PE or even an installed copy of 8.1 (the earliest these devices work is with Windows 10 Build 10240, or the free upgrade build given to us in July 2015). Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! I was inspired to start this after seeing the work being put into getting Windows XP to work on modern hardware. Since Windows 7 was the second most popular operating system after XP, I hope this can go somewhere. I would love to use Windows 7 on a 2022 laptop complete with working ACPI, Aero Glass, touchpad, touchscreen, and any other driver I may need (those will be discussed further down the road after we get the four important ones working).

I can get behind a generic SD/MMC driver for XP-7. The one laptop I have with this drive (Acer Aspire R3-131t) supports Windows 7, but there is no driver for its MMC driver (which is Hynix 32GB MMC).
