Installin Windows 7 on Precision 3630 Tower Workstation
Hello
We are trying to install Windows 7 Pro on our recently purchased Precision 3630 Tower Workstation. We understand that Win 7 has reached EOL and not supported anymore. But we have some critical applications that run on Win 7. We cannot change these application that quick as it is very expensive.
Please someone help to resolve this issue. The error happens as soon as the first windows logo appears. Please find the error in attached screenshot.
Thanks
AJ

I cannot see the attached image, as it is not public yet. However, I suspect you cannot install Windows 7 on this workstation. From what I have read Windows 7 does not allow installation on workstations based on recent processor families. New processors are compatible with older ones, this one is not the problem. Microsoft does not want you to keep installing Windows 7 on new computers.
Perhaps you will have a chance installing Windows 10, or better a Unix or Linux operating system, on this workstation and running Windows 7 in a virtualization environment like VirtualBox or vmware. I know this one is not the answer you want, but I guess it is the best you can do.
