    Win.10 won't boot after installing Win.7

    Hi,

    So i installed Win.10 via the UEFI and after installing Win.7 on Legacy Mode onto a different HDD i can't boot into Win.10 (I believe can only because Win.10 was installed via UEFI)

    I tried installing the BCD Software but nope. I even tried to select my HDD but say Winload.exe error

    Even tried going into the USB and try repairing but the same thing happens

    Is it still possible to find a Win 7 install .ISO?

    You managed to work it out: congratz!

    I had many issues when i moved to Ryzen 5 and could not get Win 7 to install properly because of USB not being detected but i fixed it ... by removing Win 7 ... permanently ...

    Now using Ubuntu.

    Any genius here can make a Win 7 NVMe USB ISO for me?

    I don't understand, how in the great abyss of the internet world we still do not have a plug and play install for Windows 7 variants with NVMe and USB 3.0 support built into ISO download to run automatically.

    I tried it on my own, I suck at this stuff, so I guess Win 10 for life, really wanted Win 7 on my partition to play certain older games on it. I set aside 80GB on my 500GB Samsung 960 EVO specifically for Windows 7, and I have tried all day to follow the steps and I keep messing it up.

    Please... there has to be some genius on these forums, Overclock.net forums, Linux world, SOMEWHERE... ; ; Also, why is this not a thing yet? Win 7 is still vastly popular, boggles my mind.
