Windows 7 Image Updater - SkyLake\KabyLake\CoffeLake\Ryzen Threadripper

[october262]

I Installed Windows 7 And It Went Fine. But Booting The Full OS For The First Time Gives Me The Famous "ACPI BIOS Error" Is There Any Way To Fix This Or Am I Stuck With Windows 10? And Where Can I Find 7updrivers.7z?

try updating your computer to the latest bios update.

I Checked Lenovo's Website And My Current BIOS And It Seems I'm On The Latest Version I'm Worried!

have you tried resetting the bios back to factory defaults ??

[Visualwit]

yes, maybe my pc is too new for windows 7...

go into device manager - click on your battery - Select Microsoft ACPI Compliant Method - click uninstall
restart your computer and see if it'll now boot.

Do I Do This On Windows 10 Because I Cannot Boot Windows 7? And I Cannot Boot Windows 7 In Safe Mode, It Also Gives Me The Same Error.

how much ram does your computer have ?? see this thread - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/stop-error-0x000000a5-error-upon...60872c2?page=2 might also check if you have SecureBoot is disabled, Legacy BIOS enabled. (Also tried UEFI boot just in case)

[Visualwit]

16GB DDR4. I Have A Dell Precision 7510 That Has The Same Amount And Also Has DDR4 And Still Works With Windows 7. But My Lenovo Legion With 16GB Ram Does Not Work. I Have Secure Boot Disabled, And CSM Enabled.

I Just Tried Removing One Of My RAM Cards But I Still Get The Error.

have you tried the Lenovo support website ?? - https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/legion-series/legion-...ndows-10-818-7

Lenovo Does Not Mention 0x000000A5, I Have A Feeling That Lenovo OR Intel Is Trying To Prevent Me From Installing Windows 7 Because My PC Is Too New!

[Visualwit]

ACPI ERROR. Basically dead end.

Is It Really? Am I Stuck With Windows 10?

[Visualwit]

Tested This On My Lenovo IdeaPad 3 And It Did Not Give Me 0x0000000A5. But The Boot Animation Freezes After It Completes, I Know Windows Is Running In The Background But The Boot Logo Is Still On The Screen, I Need Help!

In my case - Network Controller = Intel WiFi 6E AX210, Haven't found drivers suitable for 7.
PCI Simple Communication Controller, ID hardware has it as Intel Chip Management Engine, drivers I have on the Installation DVD's says, not compatible with OS
Realtek USB2.0 Audio - nothing I've tried, worked for this either.
PCI Device - Had to do with Intel Controllers- See attached pics

I also used a Program "Snappy Drivers" Free to Use, which identified a lot of the drivers needed, plus this Zipped file 7updrivers.7z

Thanks, this Snappy Drivers helped me to find Windows 7 drivers for Asus ROG B660-F motherboard, working everything great.

Hi everyone,

Like many others, I joined this forum to thank Atak for the tool - great stuff I had used Gigabyte's tool and Biostar's too but none got me as far as Atak's - thank you! The other tools didn't cover Gemini Lake CPUs it seems. I can now get Win 7 Home Premium to install on a Biostar J4105HNU mobo with 8GB ram, but it won't boot - hangs at the Windows logo.

I have tried to install on the mobo's NVME (128GB), and also a SATA SSD but both have the same issue. I assume it is a driver in the iso, but which one? Any idea how I find out?

Thanks!

[Emporer Zurg]

it wouldn't install without this. It also won't boot in safe mode. Actually, I may give up and experiment with Win 11 since the mobo supports this. I already tried Ubuntu 20 but that doesn't load sound drivers - tried the code fixes on some forums but still no success. Mobo works fine with Win 10. Edit: mobo runs win 11 - when installing, it asked for a product key so I gave a bulk win 10 pro key and it installed 11 pro. Who knew. I still prefer Win 7, but clearly Bill and his cronies are jealous of Elon so Win 7 just gets harder and harder to implement.
