Hello best people,

I have an Lenovo ideapad gaming 3 with the following specs.
CPU
    Intel Core i5 @ 2.50GHz
    Comet Lake 14nm Technology
RAM

    8.00GB

Motherboard
Graphics
    Intel UHD Graphics
    4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
Storage
    476GB KBG40ZNT512G TOSHIBA MEMORY (Unknown (SSD))

 

 

I have installed windows 7 on a partition i created but everytime i boot it up it freezes on windows is starting.

I have been unable to boot into windows 7 yet.

Changing uefi/legacy mode caused i to go into a bootloop.

What are my options here is there a way to fix this issue?

 

Thanks in advance!

Why are you trying to run Windows 7 on it?

 

At the very minimum, you'll probably have to disable switchable graphics so it's always on the GeForce. (As far as I know there aren't any Windows 7 drivers for the Comet Lake integrated graphics.)

I sold my soul for ProSupport.

Windows 10 sucks in a lot of cases.

And theres always a plus to have 2 operating systems installed.
