[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3654312, member: 45524"] what board, what os, what cpu, what hdd/ssd? i somewhat recently had to install windows 7 on a new build for someone older and insistent on not going to windows 10, and getting windows 7 to boot from a ssd was a pain. this basically involved emulating bios from the uefi onboard so that windows 7 could actually boot, as 7 cannot recognize an ssd. usually when i have issues that are stubborn; i treat it like looking for something that i can't find. if i can't find it, it must be somewhere i'm not looking. sounds simple, but it saves me again and again. sometimes when you think "well i'm just swapping/upgrading this part, so the solution for any issue must also come from here" but that is usually never the case and you have to look somewhere you aren't looking for the easiest and quickest solution.
