Issue description

Windows to Go is not working on Windows 7

I have created a Rufus Windows to Go on my USB3/sata disk with a fresh Windows 7 MDL AiO ISO

but I was not able to successfully boot this on a USB3 hardware due to a 0x0000007B BSOD

I then connected that disk to the SATA port of my motherboard and the installation completed successfully

I then tried to boot that disk out of USB3 again with the same 0x0000007B BSOD error

using the free version of WinToUSB on this Windows 7 MDL AiO ISO is working just fine. in the very first boot, the installation completes successfully and the system boots fine on any USB3

Back to Rufus, I was able to resolve this issue of not booting out of USB3 by connecting my Rufus created Win7 to Go USB3/sata disk on another system and running this set_7_usb_boot.cmd script
