Can anyone help me to achieve the goal, to have both versions installed on the same pc? I have windows 11 installed, but I do really like windows 7... I just don't know, why I am getting BSoD, when trying to run the installer.

The installer of windows 7? What hardware do you have?

#

Do you know that most newer CPUs don't support windows 7 anymore?

#

No... i didnt know this

#

Mine is pretty new

shell bison Sep 3, 2023, 11:52 AM

#

Do you know which CPU you have?

#

Wait a moment

shell bison Sep 3, 2023, 11:52 AM

#

There's a good chance it only supports 10 and 11

#

In which case I'd strongly recommend running windows 7 in a virtual machine instead

#

I have no idea... isnt it located in the settings somewhere?

#

Task manager should tell you which CPU you have

Amd ryzen 7 radeon graphics

#

5700g

#

Yeah that only supports 10 and 11

#

The best way of running windows 7 is inside a virtual machine which is a simulated computer in your windows 11

I was like spending multiple hours for tutorials. 😂
Thank you for your help!
