I am attempting to do a UEFI installation of w7 to replace W10 on a Wintel Pro mini PC as a MBR boot USB doesn't boot although I did look for and not find enable CSM and legacy USB in bios. I have tried both UEFI options on this thread as well as several others. The result is as per below a locked screen with a red bar across the top. Initially windows loads files OK. I have also shelled bootmgfw.efi as saved on the USB stick with the same results. Fast boot and secure boot are disabled. My W7 iso is a download from Microsoft.com. The W10 presently on the PC is unchanged. What might be causing W7 installation to hang?
