Here is my latest desktop. No, this isn't Windows Classic theme on Vista! Yes, this is Windows 2000! This is a 2014 Dell Latitude E6530 that has one hell of a multi-boot. Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 on a 1TB HDD!In fact, I'm posting from the Windows 2000 partition right no...

Doing more research on the problem, mintel's v6 ISO appears to be working, however it really hates Intel USB 3. It was able to install Vista on my Ryzen PC, and was necessary for something I'm trying to do. Just letting you know that the ISO that you linked to (and I subsequently mirrored to MediaF...

I need to look at that acpi.sys. I've had ACPI issues with my 8770W and haven't encountered a working file. Ivy Bridge is similar enough, right? Is your computer Ivy Bridge? If so, mine is too and I can tell you 100% that it will work! In fact, I have it (Windows 2000) setup as a dual-boot with Win...

This guide will teach you how to install Windows 2000 to Intel Sandy Bridge or later platforms with working ACPI and SATA drivers. Here's what you will need: A separate laptop with 7 or later (Not sure about 7, but I do know 8.1 and later will for sure work). nlite: https://www.nliteos.com/download/...

I think I can see why this never made it past WHQL testing stages - it's horrendously unstable. Using the same card as you (albeit a V3, but it has an identical chipset) on both XP x64 and Vista x64 - works pretty well on XP, but on Vista it seems to only run on 802.11b mode without too much proble...

Was unable to change the resolution after installation and kept getting Error 43 in Device Manager after installing graphics driver for AMD Radeon R4 Stoney Ridge 9220e. I suspect this is due to the two extra partitions that Windows 7 created alongside the standard 100MB EFI partition as these were ...

I did get to the desktop fine. In fact, most of the issues resolved themselves after installing KB4493471. Regardless, I will still try your fix.

1. Grab a Vista ISO (one with all the updates to 2017 EOL recommended). https://board.eclipse.cx/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=333 I tried the ISO linked in your thread with UEFI7 and UEFI mode on the Acer Aspire A315-21 with AMD Radeon R4, but it still froze. Not sure what else to do other than Legacy ...

I have updated the post with the v2 ISO, and it should now be easier to configure. Those with v1 don't need to grab v2, but with the success rate I've had installing KB4474419 on v1, I highly recommend grabbing v2. Could you move the ISO to a different site please? I can't download it fully unless ...

Alright, so I tried this trick on the Acer Aspire A315-21 with AMD Radeon R4 Graphics and AMD Dual-Core A6-9220e, and it froze up after loading the Windows files (the bar was filled and still shown, but frozen). I do not think this is a USB 3 issue as there are two USB 2 ports and MBR formatted and ...

You do not need to disable UEFI mode, only secure boot. Here's how to get Windows Vista working on Sandy Bridge UEFI or later. You will/may need: Windows Vista ISO, a USB 8GB or larger, a system with UEFI and secure boot disabled, Rufus, another laptop with USB SATA cable or Linux run from USB on th...

Windows 11 launches today. The trick to get it working on unsupported hardware, does that involve simply installing it from USB?

If regular 7 worked, then regular Vista should work too. Use Rufus to write it to the USB as GPT for UEFI. If not, maybe try this. https://vinaypundith.github.io/windows_7_efi_guide/ I will try the guide you linked. Windows 7 only works as I had to apply the install.wim via DISM (through Mini Windo...

I have a Dell Latitude E6530 that has Windows 7 installed to a 4TB SSD under UEFI mode, and I was wondering how to get Vista working under UEFI mode so I can dual-boot it with the already installed 7. Thanks in advanced for your guys' help!

Well, this thread is now useless. Downgraded from 8.1 to 7 as whenever I would wake the laptop from sleep mode, it would freeze.

Windows 7 could be dual-booted with 11 if we can figure out how to make it work with Secure Boot.

I just installed Windows 8.1 to a Dell Latitude E6530 that I just got, installed a Windows 7 theme, through the help of WR3n got the Windows 8 consumer preview Ribbon (which was actually first seen in Office 2007), installed Glass8 (restores Aero Glass), and then customized it so the taskbar would b...

Anything Bluetooth 4.0+ will need a custom stack that supports Vista to work with Vista, which is much more rare. Just look at the cheapest adapter with XP and/or Vista compatibility and you should be fine.

Thanks for the answer!

You can get the Windows XP drivers working. In the XP driver, there will be a field marked like this: Where can I get the XP drivers from?

The Dell Latitude E6530 that I mentioned in the Latest hardware to Support Vista is one heck of a beast. I decided to run Dolphin emulator on it and ran Mario Kart Double Dash and Mario Kart Wii. Both had no lag whatsoever. Mario Kart Wii had very minor lag on the character/course selection screen, ...

Haswell era Intel processors have no integrated GPU drivers for Vista, and as far as I know, there's no way to get the XP or 7 drivers working properly. However, since you have a Haswell based laptop with Vista, you might be able to help me with a post I'm making. Let me know if you're interested. ...
