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).
