Product: OMEN laptop 15-en0xxx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I know Windows 7 is out of support, but anyways when I boot from the usb containing Windows 7, it freezes at the starting Windows screen. I have tried many things to fix this, such as Gigabyte USB tool which injects some drivers, but it still freezes at the starting Windows screen. How can I get it to boot into the installer instead of freezing at starting Windows? I think it has something to do with the display drivers. My laptop is an OMEN-15-en0xxx running a AMD Ryzen 4000 Series 7 and a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti.

Hi:

 

I do not believe that it is possible to install W7 on that notebook, due to a lack of many drivers which probably do not exist.

 

The Gigabyte tool only installs the Intel USB 3 drivers which won't work on an AMD notebook.

 

If you are bound and determined to install W7, try the AMD USB 3/3.1 drivers that I zipped up and attached below.
