About winload.efi[edit source]
How I need to patch winload.efi to boot Windows 8 Build 7978 on some AVX processors? 91.213.33.105 (talk) 16:43, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
- Does 7978 even support UEFI boot in the first place? --Ryuzaki (talk | contribs) 17:06, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, even the 7850 was first known build to introduce (or reintroduce as the Windows Vista x86 betas have 32-bit UEFI support) 32-bit UEFI support. 91.213.33.105 (talk) 17:11, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
- No, i think he meant
winload.exe

Serious question regarding winload.[edit source]
How am i going to patch Winload.exe to boot this build? Do i need an extra software or what? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LazytownSpo4015 (talk • contribs)
- You need to use IDA. NaraInsider1694 (talk) 09:52, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for suggesting me to use IDA (Interactive Disassembler), but any video(s) on how to patch winload? —— This newly signed comment was added by Lazytown Sportacus (LazytownSpo4015) • Talk page • 10:51, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
- I couldn't find any videos on how to patch winload, so unfortunately you have to do it yourself. NaraInsider1694 (talk) 10:57, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oh, and also, i tried to use HxD to open winload, and replacing
0F20E083C8200F22E00F20C00D000000800F22C0
at offsets A042-A055 toB8200600000F22E0B8130000800F22C090909090
but booting with hex-modified winload gave me an error that the checksum doesn't match. I attempted once. —— This newly signed comment was added by Lazytown Sportacus (LazytownSpo4015) • Talk page • 12:04, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
