Keyboard and touchpad not working in Windows 7 setup on Macbook

So, I'm trying to install windows 7 on my 2013 macbook air(6, 1) and ahm, I made a bootable USB drive using Bootcamp, I checked "Install Windows support software" and when I booted from the USB drive and got in the setup menu, I could't use my laptop's touchpad and keyboard, I tryed external kb/mouse, but nothing.

P.S. I can use keyboard in windows 7 setup loading screen to enter safe mode.

Sorry for my bad english

Clean install of Ventura 13.1 freezes at Language selection screen I have created a bootable external drive with Ventura 13.1 for M1 Silicon devices. It successfully installs just fine on MacBook Air (M1,2020), Mac Mini (M1,2020). However when installing on a MacBook Pro - at the language selection screen, as soon as I select a language it freezes for ~20 minutes - the cursor will respond in jerky fashion the whole time but won’t accept input - occasionally showing the beach ball. However, after 20 (approx) minutes, it will drop the language selection screen and show an all grey background (plus jerky cursor) for another 10 minutes, before it finally moves to the next screen and then suddenly installation continues normally.

MacBook Pro A1278 will only boot in safe mode, UNLESS I hold down the “command” button while it’s booting up Ok, I’ve been driving myself crazy trying to figure out what is going on with this thing and so I’m just going to post this and cross my fingers. Stats: MacBook Pro 13” Mid 2012 2.5GHz i5 8GB DDR3 Ram Catalina OS 10.15.7 Issue: The issue started when I went to log in to the MBP and my password has capital letters and it wasn’t accepting it. So I went through the process of changing the log-in password and even after changing it, it wouldn’t work. I ended up being able to reset everything and do a clean install of Catalina OS from my M1 Mac Mini and got everything working with a fresh install. I did not restore from any kind of backup and started completely new. I’ve looked up all the different key combinations for starting up an Intel-Based Mac and none of them work, the MBP will only boot into safe mode. Even if I do nothing and just let it boot on its own, it boots into safe mode. I can log in to the MBP but ONLY if I’m holding down the “command” key while it is booting up. Once I am logged in, everything works fine EXCEPT for the left “shift” key. It will not register when I try to type with it and it doesn’t register when I have the digital keyboard on screen showing which keys I’m hitting. *Note* It never occurred to me that the issue could’ve been the left “shift” button all along because I primarily use the right “shift” button.
