Insert the USB stick and start the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool.Intel Windows 7 USB 3.0 Creator Utility ( ) (note: Version 2 ran on Windows 7 but version 3 says it only runs on 8.1 and 10).Win7 SP1 ISO or installation files ( ).If restoring or repairing, you have to boot in the mode the original OS was installed in. There is a Legacy BIOS and a UEFI Boot option. The NUC has an M.2 SSD drive and the Windows 7 installation media doesn't have a driver.

The 6th Gen NUC (NUC6i5SYK) only has USB 3.0 ports and the Windows 7 installation media doesn't have a driver. I've now created a USB stick that can be used to install Windows 7 and also to restore a Windows 7 backup image in either legacy BIOS mode or UEFI mode (depending on how the original OS was installed). I needed the NVME driver for the Windows Installer to see the SSD. I think I'm there! I was missing the driver for the M.2 SSD. I think Windows 7 is getting this wrong when booted in UEFI mode. If I then boot exactly the same stick in UEFI mode, as soon as I select "Repair your computer", I get "This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version of Windows you are trying to repair". I now understand this - I need to use UEFI boot. The system image was created on a computer using EFI and the computer is using BIOS". With my bootable USB Windows 7 install stick, If I boot it in BIOS mode, I get all the way through to where it is meant to start the data copy and it fails, saying "Windows cannot restore a system image to a computer that has different firmware.

When I try to boot it in UEFI mode, it throws me straight back to the F10 boot selector screen.Īnyway, I want to restore a Windows 7 image. The CD was created from a UEFI OS install so when I try to boot the CDF in BIOS mode it says it is not bootable. I suspect my original problem that the Windows Repair Disk won't boot is something to do with UEFI and Windows 7 not properly supporting it.

I've worked out how to make it boot in UEFI mode as well as in BIOS mode. I've got a bootable Windows 7 圆4 Installation on a USB stick. I've now given up on the Windows Repair Disk and have been concentrating on the Windows Installation.
