First of all, Windows 7 can't be installed on a NVMe device because it doesn't come with the drivers for it nor the ability to recognize those drivers, so you have to install some hotfixes hotfix KB and hotfix and the drivers for your NVMe device onto a bootable USB yourself using DISM via the administrator command prompt.
However, because I have a Gigabyte mobo, I am provided with a tool from gigabyte that automatically does all this without any need to use the command prompt. You simply put the drivers you need to be installed in the same folder as the tool and they're put on the bootable USB along with the hotfix. After I did this, unfortunately, the windows installer gave me the black screen with white text telling me that a critical system driver was missing and, low and behold, it was called "nvme.
Next I tried doing it the long and painful way by using the administrator command prompt to mount boot. So, knowing that the driver was right where it was supposed to be, knowing that the hotfix had been properly installed, and knowing that the driver for the Pro was installed, I tried to boot windows from the USB again only to get the exact same error message.
It completely blew my mind and infuriated me because I had literally just seen the file right where the installer telling me it wasn't. However, in the section of the guide explaining how to extract hotfix KB and using the file "update-bf.
It's not applicable to boot. I just kinda ignored this since I assumed that it was already installed if it wasn't applicable, but obviously I was wrong since I got the exact same results. I also tried installing the entire KB hotfix not just update-bf. I have no clue why Windows refuses to recognize the driver. I've contacted gigabyte and samsung on this issue and it got me nowhere; they just told me things I had already tried and I believe this situation has become too complex for any samsung or gigabyte representative so this is my very last resort.

A USB flash drive doesnt qualify. I had the same problem. I downloaded hotfix from here:. Ran it. Now Win 7 could recognize the drive, but the win 7 setup program still did not. So back in old win 7 installation I downloaded and ran Aomei partitioning software free :. Aomei shut the PC down, and copied drive in pre-OS environment.
Now OS was on the drive. After restart I opened easy BCD. I tried for a week every solution I could find. This worked in less than an hour. All steps were pretty easy with point and click software doing most of the work!
