Because my laptop is a bit outdated, the Windows 10 drivers don't fully work with it. I wanted to run both Windows 10 and 7 side by side because I enjoy the features of Windows 10 while still being able to play games on Windows 7. The issue started after the second part of the W7 installation (the OOBE section) and it freezes at the "Starting Windows" screen. I tried safe mode and after a short time loading drivers, it gets stuck at "disk.sys". I also attempted to install Win7 UEFI from a VHD file and booted from there, but that didn't help. I even tried using a virtual machine (VirtualBox) in UEFI mode, but the same problem persists.

P.S.: Don't tell me to enable "legacy mode" since that would mean losing my Windows 10 and starting over.
