Booting UEFI system on BIOS using GRUB and vice versa
Theoretically yes.

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a motherboard that doesn't have CSM Support?
and the article mentions something potential helpful: https://github.com/manatails/uefiseven

Looking for recent motherboards that have CSM (compatibility support module) option...
If you absolutely need Win 7 support there's a project called uefiseven, last time I tried it on my 2600X and RX 580 I couldn't get it to boot sadly.

Windows 7 refuses to cooperate with a very simple task (spoiler alert, to just install itself)
Windows 7 doesn’t fully support pure UEFI ootb from my understanding, all the boot related rules are confusing. Try using this: https://github.com/manatails/uefiseven Tried this and it works on an old UEFI Razer Blade 0116. Good luck to you

Updated ASUS A320M-K with latest version to use newer Ryzen but windows now show BSOD
I found it here: https://github.com/manatails/uefiseven/issues/13

i tried to install windows 7 ultimate on my laptop ended up here help
If you don't mind about UEFI, you can switch to Legacy on BIOS and boot again the DVD/USB; or if you want to use UEFI, you must use uefiseven to replace bootmgfw.efi in UEFI shell.
-
Just out of interest, what is the oldest computer that is physically able to run the very first release of Windows?
Without someone creating a UEFI app to implement the legacy BIOS services, it won't work without CSM. Some people actually implemented the BIOS VGA functions so Windows 7 could run on such UEFI boards(the generic video driver relies on legacy BIOS functions even in UEFI mode).

Should I update Nintendo Switch before starting RCM process?
I have a v1 unpatched Switch. I'd like to start the process of installing custom firmware. I read this note about being careful to make sure Atmosphere and Hekate support the latest firmware before updating, which they both seem to. But there's also something about gamecard firmware?
-
Could some please help me out after updating some files
Make sure you have most update files from the main repo GitHub. https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases. Follow the update instructions

Modded Lite Won't boot hekate.
I've installed modchip on Lite. It shows the "no sd card" logo. I've tried both hekate official gitthub and HATS packages loaded into an SD card, but it gives a black screen. It returns to no sd card when I press the power button for 10 seconds after removing the sd card.
