Windows 7 loader uefi

This guide will take you through Clean Installation and assumes you have a Dell Windows 7 Reinstallation DVD, Retail Windows 7 Installation DVD, Downloaded a Retail Windows 7 Installation.iso or have converted the above to a Windows 7 Installation USB. Microsoft have severely hindered the Digital Deployment of Windows 7 as of February 2015 removing all previous downloads and replacing them with a non-functional tool. There are difficulties in obtaining installation media for out of warranty OEM systems and I cannot help you if you are in this unfortunate situation. if you have not backed up your data and do not have the installers for any software of system drivers i.e. are not ready for clean installation take your time and see the steps to prepare in A Clean Install of Windows 7. Part 1: Determining whether your System Supports UEFI and Secure Boot The UEFI BIOS and GPT partition scheme should be used where possible with Windows 7 64 Bit. You may or may not have these technologies depending on the age of your system. Dell note the date of their systems on their FTP Website: For example the Inspiron Desktop range: Variant A: Systems Newer than 2012 These systems will have the newer security technologies associated with a UEFI BIOS. Windows 7 64 Bit does not support Secure Boot and it should hence be disabled. It is advised to install Windows 7 64 Bit in UEFI see Enable UEFI/ Disable Secure Boot. The Dell Windows 7 Reinstallation DVD or Retail Windows 7 Installation DVD will not boot with a UEFI BIOS and must be converted into a Bootable USB formatted as FAT32 see Converting your Reinstallation DVD into a Bootable USB. Windows 7 32 Bit will not work with a UEFI BIOS see Disable UEFI/ Secure Boot. Variant B: Systems Older than 2012 For a legacy system BIOS that is a BIOS older than 2012 you will not have a UEFI compliant.
Now that Windows 10 is with us I cannot really see why you would need a loader for Windows. I suggest that you visit the MDL website to get the full story from the source. This is (the MDL website that is) the home of Daz and you can even get direct feedback from Daz himself. Now that Windows 8 hardware is with us, the desire to install an alternative operating is becoming more and more of an issue. Microsoft and the hardware manufacturers have made this task more difficult by the way that Windows is now installed, the options that you have within Windows, and the use of a UEFI Framework to taylor the pre-boot environment so that it is at least a litte harder. This is not to say that a loader such as the one that was available from Daz for Windows 7 cannot be used on Windows 8 hardware, however Windows 7 can be installed on such hardware if you wish. Much has been written about UEFI in that it is a big conspiracy that is used to prevent you from installing Windows 7 on Windows 8 hardware. UEFI is just the name given to the Framework that hardware manufacturers use to write a pre-boot environment - this used to be known as BIOS. This is futher confused with the fact that with the new UEFI Framework an interface can now be constructed that is supposed to make the configuration of a computer easier. The so-called UEFI Firmware interface allows the computer user to use a mouse in a GUI to configure the BIOS features of a computer. UEFI in itself is not a method to control or restrict what you can and cannot do with your computer. In fact some computer manufacturers will allow you to boot your computer using what is now referred to as Legacy Boot. When Legacy Boot is enabled you will see screens similar to older computers when the BIOS configuration is entered. This is the familar DOS type of screens that are navigated using the keyboard, arrow keys, ESC and Enter keys.
