Can't dual boot win7 with windows 10 preinstalled.

I am trying to do a dual boot, but whenever i try to install windows 7 i get this error after it restarts to keep on installing.

the error is about winload.exe
Do you have secure boot disabled and are you using a legal licensed version of Windows 7?
No im not using licensed version, i was able to install it, but not with windows 10 because I couldn't install windows 7 on GPT partition.

You can't install the boot volume of Windows 7 to a GPT partition. The OS does not allow for that. Windows 8 and above would install just fine, but 7 cannot. You will have to get a second hard drive or wipe your current one and create a new MBR for Windows 7.
You are using 32-bit Windows 7 which cannot boot from GPT partition only 64-bit Windows 7 support booting from GPT partition.
