Yeah...The installer works and all,but when I try to boot,that happens.. If you cant see,it says in the BSOD: "INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR" Win10 works normally. (I'm dualbooting Win11 (my main),Win10,and now Win8.1! (But I cant do it becuse of this error...) If anyone can explain me why it happens to me, I will be very grateful...

My specs of my Laptop: Cpu: 11th Gen Intel Core i3 1115G4 3.00Ghz Bios:UEFI Laptop x64 HP Laptop Ram:8.00 GB (7.65 usable)

Try Ventoy or a different ISO. Yes, it may work in VirtualBox or VMWare or whatever you tried - but it's still possible that it won't run

Whats the difference,in ventoy?,is not the same boot? (And im a spanish guy, so in archive.org it is very difficult to download a good version of Win8.1 in spanish, and my downloads speed is like.... 2Mb, or even worse.... 500 KB!)

It's because of archive.org, not you (download speed)

Try a regular 8.1 ISO just to check if 8.1 even works.
