[REQUEST] HP ENVY Notebook 17-u018ca, Insydeh20 f2.2 rev
#1
Hi, I'm new here so I'm not sure if I'm in the right section, but I'll do my best to explain my problem, it's a really long story so sit tight.

If you just don't care about the details then you can scroll down a bit and you'll find the BIOS link.

------------
The Story
------------
Not long ago, I've bought myself a new notebook, HP Envy Notebook 17-u018ca, it's a really good one, much better than my older computer. Unfortunately, it was pre-installed with Windows 10 which is a OS that I don't really appreciate. But since I didn't wanted to lose everything on it. I've
decided to do a Dual-Boot with Windows 7.

After spending almost 2 days to figure out how to launch the Windows 7 Installation in UEFI mode, I finally manage to get it started. But unfortunately, this is where the problem start, there's a screen that say: "Windows is loading files, etc..." but then, it freeze at the "Starting Windows".

After a few researches, I'm pretty sure that it have something to do with the driver's type, I need to switch it to AHCI. So I've opened up the BIOS and much to my surprise, there's no "Advanced" options. So I've looked up on the Internet trying to find a modded BIOS of "Insydeh20 f0.8", but I didn't find anything. Donovan6000's tutorial isn't helping either, the bios that he use and the bios that I have are far to different.

So I though to myself that it was because the BIOS was outdated, so I went to HP, looked up on a update and I've found it, the BIOS would be updated to f2.2 rev. Unfortunately, F2.2 doesn't have any modded BIOS yet and Donovan6000's tutorial can't help either.
------------

After 2 or 3 headaches, I've just gave up on trying to find a solution on my own and I went here to see if someone had a modded BIOS or just wanted to mod a BIOS.

Here's a link to the BIOS: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/publi...b_101228_1

(I couldn't find a direct link to the BIOS so I give you a "mediafire" kind of download)

Thanks!
