Be sure to FAT32 partitions because the EFI BIOS only recognizes FAT32 partitions

Free space-recommended 5G, minimum requirements, can put down Win7 image extracted from all the files

The primary partition is also a row, and logical partitions are also done without the need for a boot function. For ease of narration, the partition is called a install partition.

2, copy all the files in the Win7 x64 mirror to the Install partition root directory

3. Extract the EFI SHELL (x64). zip to the Install partition root directory,
