Ladies and gentlemen I have brilliant news: I just found that Microsoft quietly announced the retirement of Windows 10 to be 2025. No idea how true that is but idk. That's just the EOL date for Windows 10 RTM LTSB. Unless Windows 11 is real, (which I doubt) Windows 10 won't be going anywhere. maybe...

Ill see if i can disable that somehow. I only want my GPU to do all the work... Like I said before you bought it, you can't. It's why I jumped from my 4720HQ & 970m MSI to my 8770W. well, actually you can on MSi Laptops. Kinda... Using MSI dragon center you can choose wether you want an applica...

Try updating to this BIOS. https://download.msi.com/bos_exe/nb/E1794IMS.106.zip Edit: After you flash the above BIOS, flash this. https://download.msi.com/bos_exe/nb/E1794IMS.115.zip btw the later one is for a different MSI laptop model.

i usually left out Geforce experience during install but i dont think this will change anything.

good point with it not showing up if dead. maybe try an older/newer driver? i tried 2 drivers. The one provided my MSI and the latest from Nvidias website. Im gonna go into the BIOS and send a picture of it so you can see which options i have there to enable and disable related to CPU and GPU. Cya ...

Check your BIOS - you normally change between GPU's in there. There should be an intergrated graphics on/off option. EDIT: I only just noticed the black screen when you disable it part - the card might be dead? If it's a physical card you can remove, then possibly try it in a different system to se...

nope, there aint such an option in there.
Sorry i forgot to mention that.

Yes, another problem, this time with the GPU. So after installing all the drivers i noticed that the Laptop was still running on the Integrated Graphics (Intel HD 530) and not the built in GPU (Nvidia GeForce GTX 970m) Disabling the Integrated Graphics or uninstalling the Integrated Graphics driver ...

btw the BIOS update fixed the BSOD but unfortunately a new problem arose...


New thread coming soon

Thanks for all the Help and support

This community is great

Oh boy. Windows 10 may be the absolute worst experience I've ever had with Windows in my entire life. I've used it even before the damn thing even released. I joined the Insider Program and installed insider builds in the shitty laptop I had at the time around 10049. I used 9926 in a VM beforehand ...

To be fair, the system should be ACPI-compliant anyway in the first place considering its age: it's likely a bug within the supplied BIOS on the device. Yeah its probably because the previous owner extended the RAM from 8 GB to 16 GB. Ive read on the seven forums that people have also been recievei...

MSI win7 tool also started to fuck around again not accepting any ISO in ex...

Also, the laptop has currently no OS properly installed on it. I dont want to risk a BIOS update at this point. That laptop is still new and i dont want to risk breaking it. Also, how do i do this? Just press f7 while the first part of the setup. Just like that? I think Disabling ACPI during Setup o...

Last link is for a different GE72.

but thats about Linux.
Im not installing Ubuntu, im trying to install Windows 7

So i tried installing Windows 7 on my MSI GE72 6QF Apache Pro, however every time i get to the Windows 7 boot screen it gives me a BSoD saying: "This Device is not fully ACPI compliant. Please update your BIOS"Please update your BIOS." I was trying to install Windows 7 on that device ...

this question may sound stupid but...

How do i format the USB i will burn this ISO on?

GPT or MBR?

And can this ISO be booted from Legacy mode that way?

(sorry if i sound stupid but, believe it or not, im still new to UEFI )

ah shit i totally forgot about the-eye.eu

Thanks man!

My own ISO got corrupted and the microsoft download link i used to download it shows me a 403 error now https://software-download.microsoft.com/pr/Win7_Ult_SP1_English_x64.iso?t=2dbf54a6-0c9f-4dac-bc97-188877a6fd60&e=1591074047&h=753ebe84a0a243c7f340169c67740afe Anyone got a original and unm...

Well, i tried that.
I formatted the USB in MBR, enabled Legacy Mode and Legacy USB mode,plugged it into the USB 2.0 port and whoops...

This happened...

Im gonna try r3ns patched ISO tomorrow and see if it will help...

Update 2: Today my laptop arrived, its in beatiful condition but MSI smartool started to fuck around. It only wants geniue 100% unchanged windows 7 ISO's as it seems but unfortunately my only geniue Windows 7 ISO got corrupted. So fuck that MSI bullshit im gonna try and install it with rufus and plu...

I see no issue. Finding the drivers may be a challenge, if you don't already have them. I've upgraded at least 3 Dell Skylake desktops to Windows 7 from XP. Two of which were intel-based chipsets, and one hybrid nforce4 SLI Intel (Dell) edition. Each had their own challenges. Just make sure you hav...

fuck it i dont care if its skylake or not, i just want to get away from my current C2D

Update: i bought it...

It has 16 GB of RAM tho.
I think a i7 6th gen going up to 3.5 Ghz, a 970m and 16 GB RAM is a good configuration.

aside from optimus ofc

dunno if the GPU is upgradeable so in case of the 970m getting too slow i could replace it with a 980m

tbh its not worth installing the ESU updates.
Im only waiting for POSReady 7 to reach end of extended support in october so that the devs can do the same trick as they did for POSReady 2009 on XP.

POSReady also has 1 more year of support and thus lasts untill 2024, longer than Windows 7 ESU.

Main files and info needed Q: Why does the setup have the Windows 8 bootscreen? A: The installer is from Windows Server 2012 R2, I used it so I could convert the install.wim to a install.esd to make the ISO significantly smaller. It also makes integrating NVMe and USB 3.0 support significantly easi...
