Windows 7 Successfully Installed on UEFI PC Won't Boot

[himatrai]

LENOVO IDEACENTRE 14ARE05

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with Radeon Graphics 3.70 GHz

Installed RAM: 32,0 GB (31,3 GB usable)

Storage: 2TB SSD M.2 2242 PCIe NVMe + 2TB HDD 7200rpm 3.5"



OS Dual Boot in SSD M.2 2242 PCIe NVMe: Windows 11 (1500 GB) and Windows 7 (500GB)

I made a 500 GB partition on an SSD disk where it runs Windows 11 and installed Windows 7.

After installing Windows 7 the computer restarts and Windows 7 boots up, but it doesn't progress to the desktop restarting and repeating the restart until I stop.

Windows 11 continues to run smoothly.

You can see the steps through the screenshot of the attached pdf.

I doubt your OEM motherboard supports Legacy mode.

Solving startup and booting issues like this can be challenging, but by following some steps, you may be able to resolve the problem. Here are some suggestions you can try:

1. Boot Priority Check:
   • Ensure that in the BIOS/UEFI settings, you have correctly set the boot priority. Make sure that the SSD (where both Windows 7 and Windows 11 are installed) is chosen as the first boot device.
2. Windows 7 Repair:
   • Boot from the Windows 7 installation media and select the "Repair your computer" option. Then, open the Command Prompt and use the chkdsk command. This helps to fix disk errors.
3. Windows 7 Boot Repair:
   • Use specific boot repair utilities for Windows 7. You can try repairing boot files using the "bootrec" command:
     bash

• bootrec /fixmbr
  bootrec /fixboot
  bootrec /rebuildbcd
• Windows 11 Repair:
  • Boot from the Windows 11 installation media and use built-in tools to repair the system.
• Check for Hardware Issues:
  • Sometimes hardware issues, such as faulty RAM, can be the cause of such problems. You can test the RAM using Memtest86 or another RAM testing tool.
