Problem installing vista.

Installed via winntsetup, uefi+gpt. on a nvme ssd. not a single successful boot since the copying, not seeing the starting animation.
If i use a usb drive as dvd to install it stucks at 'windows is loading file' with the progressbar at 100%.

Hi Pine Smell:

I suspect that Vista does not support your Intel i7 CPU and/or Intel UHD GPU.

According to a Google search qv1j (11700es) CPUs are "an early engineering sample (ES) version of the Intel Core i7-11700 processor" and "are prototype CPUs that are not fully retail-ready". The specs I found for the Intel Core i7-11700 processor suggest you have the equivalent of an 11th gen Rocket Lake processor.

Please read the original post in WinClient5270's 06-Jul-2018 Compatible hardware with Windows Vista in the MSFN Vista board and start a new topic in that board if you aren't sure if your hardware components are supported by Vista. According to that post:

• The last Intel Core i7 to support Vista are all models up to 3rd generation Ivy Bridge processors; Haswell and later do not properly work with Vista.
• The last Intel GPU to support Vista is Intel HD 4000 series (Ivy Bridge; Desktop and Mobile).

If Pinesmell is attempting to install Vista x64, then he might be well-advised to try Vista x86 in view of the known issues with relatively recent Intel hardware. Even then, I suspect that “nvme” might be a formidable obstacle if the OS has to be Vista. Isn’t Windows 7 old enough?

That’s a good link, but why do you still suggest starting a topic at MSFN when their Vista board is just as dead as this board? WinClient5270’s last post was in February 2023; this is October 2025. Do you think he’s just waiting for someone to post a question? More likely he no longer runs Vista x64 and has found better uses for his time! He only occasionally tested things on Vista x86, and there are other old posts at MSFN indicating that Vista x86 worked just fine on Haswell (and perhaps newer) microarchitecture from Intel. Of course younger generations might never even think of installing an x86 OS. There is no x86 version of Windows 11 at all, and 32-bit hasn’t been commonplace since Windows 7.
