[GUIDE] Install Windows 7 in MacBook Pro Early 2015 with almost fully support(include track pad)!!

DSEO shouldn’t be that problematic. You can locate the driver file in the device manager, and then you enable the test mode then sign it, based on the assumption that the problem is caused by the driver signature.

Trust me, i've tried DSEO, but with no result.. i could upload archive here, but what i basically did - i analyzed the broken driver from Intel archive for Win7 and tried to rebuild .inf file, then generated .cat file from the .inf, and then tried to sign all .cat\.sys\.dll, but some files successfully signed, and some just ignored signing for unknown reason..

Are you sure that DSEO signature is enough for kernel-mode drivers? Shouldn't it be cross-signed (timestampted) by public trusted CA even for testing mode?

Sorry bro, I somehow didn’t receive the notification for the message that you posted a while ago.

Davidcie, the one who made the EFI files aka the one that made my installation possible attested that version 5.1.5769 works fine. He works heavily with MBA but recently finished his first MBP installation.
 
Hello! I've been trying this on my Macbook Pro Early 2015 13inch and when I boot from the USB Drive, it just hangs on the Windows 7 logo after doing the animation. I tried troubleshooting by holding V when booting and seeing the phases. Eveything was doing good, I was pressing Enter, but it gave me an error about \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD being corrputed and that the boot data configuration could not be loaded. I thought that I setup the USB Drive wrong, so I downloaded the premade ISO without the install.wim that you posted a while back and added my install.wim. Still the same thing. I remember I got it working like 2 years ago while having the same problem, but I just can't remember how. But that time, I abandoned because of the lack of drivers, but I see that's not a problem anymore. Running macOS Mojave with OS Integrity off only 2 partitions. My only opinion right now, would be APFS, but I am not that sure, because it gives me the error with the BCD, but at the same time, it hangs on the logo if I don't press anything. Odd..

L.E.: It might also be because my USB Drive is formatted as exFAT? It is 64GB and I can't format it in FAT32.

EXfat is probably the problem, APFS is exonerated since I had my success with APFS

Did he have problems with the camera? I confirm that I only have problems with the camera driver, everything is fine with IO and there are no more "unknown devices"

After I abandoned my MBP for its horrible heat, poor performance and the constantly-wearing-off screen coating, all I still retain is my memory three years ago. He has confirmed that the camera works fine according to this thread

I will still try best to help since most of the issues are related to Windows rather than Mac
 
Failed to install windows 7 on Mac Pro 2013 late .
Causes MP don’t have intel Graphics in
Xeon cpus . And amd gpu driver can’t add to boot.wim & install.wim .

Can someone make an updated guide for the 2015 15 inch with Intel graphics? I need to install analog video capture software and it works best under Windows 7. I have a 2013 Asus laptop with a Samsung SSD, 8GB, and a Core i7 that could probably work fine, but it's not as good. This thread is kind of hard to follow. I'm still on Sierra.

Im probably a bit late for this but does this work on the Mid-2015 MBP? It's Retina and 500GB storage, with Intel and AMD graphics.
 
AMD graphics have yielded some bad lucks historically. Getting the system to display was a hard job. Why don’t you inject BOTH intel and AMD driver and give it shot? If that fails plug in an external monitor. No guarantees though. Sorry about this man!:oops:
 
When I try to do Boot.wim.bat it gives this error, any suggestions?

UPDATE: I just realized was it C:/ on the USB or C:/ on the MBP?
Is anyone there? I really need help.

I’m still alive. Don’t worry. Instead of using the bat file, try RT7Lite’s driver integration and pick the .inf file from each of the driver folder (including the AMD one). DO NOT check either “boot.wim only” or “install.wim only.” That is, you leave either option unchecked. It should do the same thing and allows you to integrate all drivers rather than the batch.
 
Hey is there a download link for R7lite?

UPDATE: Sorry!! I skimmed over the download part while reading. My bad!

Hey i didnt see the AMD drivers in the article, ill read it over again and then update.
 
also when I do install.wim.bat, it does this. (If someone completed this, and still has their MBP early 2015 can they make a vid? Plzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

Yes. You integrate the hot fix and you rebuild all images. I cannot make videos since I’ve sold mine.

Thx! I also wanna say how much I appreciate your work, but also when I do the install.wim bat it fails, can u help me with this? :)

As I’ve said, you use RT7Lite to replace *both* the batches not just the boot.wim. You don’t check any additional restrictions in the software for the same reason.
 
Okay, that worked. This is what I did, correct me if im wrong. I copied the installer files to my USB. Then I did select OS path and selected the USB. Then I pressed cancel and it started loading the image. When it finished loading I went to tasks and then checked integration. Then I went to integration and added the hotfix. Then I went to drivers and added all the .inf files. Then I pressed apply. Then I left it on Rebuild all images. Finally I pressed commit.

It should work (although AMD GPUs..... you’ll never know). If not, please try working on an ISO file directly and set a temporary decompressing folder that has ~10GB of space. If that still fails, try an external monitor. If that still fails, inject only the AMD driver and use an external monitor. If that still fails, then I would succumb to my defeat since my model uses Intel GPUs.
