Hello,
So I have said Macbook5,1 with 8 GB of RAM and an 500 GB SSD equipped.
It runs MacOS Ventura with Opencore Legacy Patcher on an GPT formatted SSD.
I want to dualboot Windows 7 x64 but for the love of god I can not get it to boot even the Installer.
I tried the USB methods with Ventoy, Rufus, UEFISeven, Windows10 Installer with Windows 7 install.wim and so on.
I am aware of those Tutorials regarding Windows 7 alongside official OSX and Windows 10 alongside OCLP patched macOS versions.
MacOS runs flawless but it seems like the UEFIboot of Windows 7 or 10 does not work.
Legacyboot works but my SSD is in GPT so no luck there i guess?
An original Windows 7 64 bit Professional DVD also only boots with legacyboot, not UEFI.
Copying the Installer to the already formatted NTFS partiton also does not want to boot (doesnt even show as UEFIboot option. Legacyboot can be started with rEFInd but wont finish booting the installer.
Has anyone had this exact issue or can provide any other things I can try?
