Yeah, as bizzare as it sounds on the title, for compatibility reasons I need to run a program on Windows 7, and in an attempt to do so I'm trying to install a new Windows 7 32-bit OS on my laptop.
The laptop has a preinstalled Windows 10 64-bit OS, and I've added Kubuntu 18.10 64-bit. As a note, said program does not run under WINE although for a completely different reason.
I did tried to make a VM, however the program needs to handle a 100 GB database, of which I have no idea how to transfer it into the VM.
The problem seems to be codec-related - it basically ties videos (in .avi format) with GPS coordinate traces.
As of now, I've gotten myself a bootable USB drive, however :
- If I try to install it from within Windows itself, they complain that there's "not enough space on the boot drive";
- If I try to install it through BIOS boot-up, there appears to be a problem with USB 3.0 drivers. I already tried to download the GIGABYTE patches, and also the drivers provided by Intel, to no avail.
I haven't tried with an actual DVD however (the laptop has an optical drive), so that's one more option.
Could anyone shed me a light on the problem ?
