How can I install Windows 7 on new pc with modern hardware
Ventooy is an open source, free bootable USB authoring tool that writes Windows 7 ISO files to USB drives to create bootable installation media. It supports multiple ISO file storage, allowing users to store multiple operating system images on a single USB drive and select them at boot time. Ventooy is small, requires no installation, supports MBR and GPT partitioning schemes, and is compatible with the Windows 7 installation needs of modern hardware.
