legacy Clover will search EDID for several ports

please check if it works

Windows UEFI is 64bit only.

Hi Slice. I 'm stumbling over this old remark of yours because even pure 32bit Windows installers DO contain a winload.efi which from what I learned from both theory and experience is meant for IA32 systems with the CPUs you mentioned in your entry posting, so Windows can be installed on such systems in IA32 EFI mode.

 

That aside, here's what I'd like to know:

Clover 64bit can even run on a 64bit legacy (non-UEFI) BIOS computer and "emulate" 64bit UEFI, enabling OS installers and OSes to run in UEFI mode on such legacy BIOSes.

 

What I am wondering is: was there any version of Clover in the past, or could be compiled now ( @Rodion2010 ?), which "launches" into IA32 mode even on a current 64bit UEFI computer with an i5, if necessary with legacy CSM enabled in UEFI BIOS?

 

My goal would be to natively (thus not as VM) launch into a 32bit Windows 7 installation, which I installed in CSM mode to a GPT disk whose partition table I temporarily hybridized to be a synced GPT/ MBR disk to install and run Windows 7 32bit. I had to put the disk back into pure GPT mode for various reasons, and it should stay that way. I can only launch that 32bit OS by converting the disks's partition table to MBR/GPT again (and by keeping CSM mode enabled in BIOS, which is OK for now).

 

If there was a version of IA32 bit Clover that actually launches even on a 64bit UEFI i5 sys, that would be awesome!

:thanks_speechbubble:

Windows 7 32bit I never saw to be EFI. It must be started in legacy mode, for example by Chameleon.

Clover depends on EFI "BIOS". If EFI is 64 bit then Clover must be 64 bit.

For macOS there is a flag "arch=ia32". For Windows you have no chances.

thanks @Slice for your reply. Yes, Win 7 32bit install does contain winload.efi in both, boot.wim and install.esd. I don't have any working Laptop or Netbook with an Atom or similar CPU anymore so I can't do a native test install launched from 32bit EFI. MS does not label it IA32 inside the BCDs, but I am certain it must be.

Hm wait - I can boot into Clover on a non-UEFI legacy BIOS. You probably mean "On a computer with 64bit UEFI BIOS, Clover must be 64bit".

Allright gotcha - it's just the way it is, so I can simply forget about it and virtualize instead.

 

Thanks for Clover, Slice! Stay healthy!

Hi there.

 

My computer has a 64 bits processor, altought BIOS only support EFI 32. Could be possible to use CLover 32 to boot Windows 10 64bit?

 

Cheers!

Don't use EFI32 at all. Boot legacy Clover-64 and then boot Windows 10-64 from the Clover.

BIOS doesn't support Legacy mode, just UEFI, that's wahy i thought using EFI32, as neithercan use EFI64... This BIOS is simply a painin the ass.

Bios support ESP / Clover-64 like Slice said

Clover on EFI partition with boot file Legacy duet
