First, it uses NVMe instead of SATA disk. Secondly, it's only support UEFI-GPT instead of BIOS-MBR(no CSM either). Also my laptop processor is Intel Core I3-1005G1(Intel Core I3 10th Generation).I don't really care about security so don't tell me to keep Windows 10 and the reason is I just dont like Windows 10. And of course I do have a legitmate Windows 7 ISO(2 of them).I have an 3.0 USB by the way.

    i have an iso from long ago and it's a windows 7 pro disk.I also has a key so dont worry about key problems.

    Did you read the 2nd part of that reply?

    And even if you had bought a Retail Licensed Windows 7 package, your Computer Manufacturer would have to supply Windows 7 drivers for your exact model number.

    Do they?

    As i said:

    But you do not have a Product Key that was bought as part of Windows 7 Retail package.

    Windows 7 does not come for free.

    And Microsoft no longer sells 7.

    Newer systems like yours do not have built in USB 2.0 hardware. The install disk for Win7 does not come with USB 3.0 drivers. The only way Win7 can be installed on such a system is by replacing the install with an integrated USB 3 driver in the installer.
