Question Windows 7 installer freezes on a Dell G5 5000 ?

[ZV505867]

I have a Dell G5 5000 with an i5-10400F, 1650 SUPER, 32 GB RAM (unmatched, but doesn't cause issues), 512GB NVMe
I have made a Windows 7 SP1 USB, and then integrated the following drivers into the install:

https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/do...-for-installing-windows-7-on-nvme-thinkcentre (NVMe)
https://github.com/manatails/uefiseven/releases/tag/1.30 (UEFI support)
SIW2's USB3_WIN7_2021 (Comet Lake XHCI support)

I have also integrated a wide host of other drivers, but even after doing so, the installer freezes at the "Starting Windows" flower. Does anyone have any idea what I could have done wrong? All advice is appreciated.

PCH drivers as well?

Actually, I have a different problem now. After trying the patched bootx64.efi found on the “Issues” tab, GPU support was evident by the proper screen resolution, but I then got BSOD 0x000000A5. I’ve tried updating the BIOS, but that didn’t help. Is there a way to bypass ACPI on Windows 7?
