Basically i installed windows 10,7,8.1,11 on my Asus laptop. But when i try to install windows vista, after the first restart it gives me BSOD and error code:

0x0000001e (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFF8000AC716A7,0x0000000000000000,0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF)

and nothing else. I tried searching solutions on Google and learned that windows 8 and 10 cause this. The laptop came preinstalled with windows 8 but later upgraded to 10.

Should I just give up or is there a fix for this?

    The error descriptions I see relate to driver and hardware errors. Vista is LONG out of support and will not run on a new machine. Vista WILL run in a VM ..... I have it running here.

I think a better approach at this point, is to solve this problem with Virtual Machines and not multiple boot.

I have VMware Workstation V17 running on a Windows 11 Pro Host.

This runs: Windows 10 Pro, Windows 7 Pro and Windows Vista Business.

I had no need for Windows 8 but it, too, will run as a Virtual Machine Guest.

Everything you wish to do including Windows Vista can be solved this way and I highly recommend it to you.

So I recommend you use Virtual Machines as a better overall strategy for those machines you wish to run.

If you wish to remain with a multiple boot system, you will have to give up on Vista and everything prior.

    No. Vista is so old it will not run on your computer. So either convert to VMs or leave Vista behind. I posted both strategies in my answer

    Drivers are old and the hardware is new . So you simply cannot multi boot Vista or anything prior on your computer.

    Just about no chance of that. New machines leave old machines and old drivers behind. There is nothing you can do about it .

    Going forward (a year or two) Virtual Machines is simply a more strategic approach. Why not use that?
