Great tutorial man! I've read so many forum posts on this topic, and ultimately what you show here in under 10 minutes would take hours to track down otherwise. Thanks a million!
I went here: www.win-raid.com/t29f25-Recommended-AHCI-RAID-and-NVMe-Drivers.html I bought a Samsung 960 PRO 500GB. The link to those drivers is recent, from 10/12/2017 I believe. There are also links for all other kinds of M.2 drivers, Intel, ASROCK, etc... Hope that helps.
uGe Km, Thank you so much on solving the trouble problem of Windows 7 and samsung 960 EVO in installation. I like W7 more than W10, due to W7 more cleanly and readable easily, also i love samsung 960 evo performance awesome. I never the simple solution as you as faster. Appreciated from Hong Kong reader.
I install Windows 7 NVMe hotfix KB2990941 and KB3087383 the Samsung Driver 3.3 and my NVMe 980 Pro is now working ! Make sure win 7 is updated ! Now to Clone with AOMEI. Update Works I cloned Samsung 860 ssd to NVMe 980 pro to my Dell Inspiron 5570 i7 Read is 6462.9 Write is 6070.0 works Great ! So now you Know Samsung 980 Pro NVMe works on Windows 7 ! Awe Some !😊👍💻 . Get the Gigabyte tool and make a disc works both ways !
Thanks a lot for uploading these drivers. My W7 SP1 on SATA installed some default driver for NVME KIOXIA exceria, but any program couldn't read SMART. With this driver all is OK. Will move my W7 to NVME now
OMG FINALLY! Thank you so much man! you did it! I was working on this for weeks, no joke! wow! ok so , now I have windows 7 pro 64 installed on my new Samsung 960 256GB SSD, and Im subbed to your channel but, 1 problem bro.. Why the hell do I only have 110GB left on my 256GB drive..? 146GB gone!, lol, what happened!? please continue to be my hero!!

That's amazing! So are the same drivers also available online for the Samsung 970 EVO Plus Series? If so I'm going to buy a newer used PC with DDR4 memory and an M.2 PCI Express adapter and try this. I'll leave my results. One other question... Have you tried to do a normal installation with a Sata SSD and then clone that to a NVMe drive or does that not work? Thank you so much!
Hello. Thank you very much for your video and your time doing this. Just an answer please. I have installed before on the nvme m2 windows 10 but I don't like them I think to stick a couple of years with w7 even my pc hardware has w 7 and 10 drivers. Those ssd nvme drivers are able to detect any nvme ssd is connected on my nvme m2 slot? (Brand) Thank you in advance.
hello thanks...how long is this supposed to taje to update the image files on the usb flash drive?...its been going for 5 hours and seems stuck on mounting the image file
legend...i was starting to get really annoyed trying to get windows 7 pro on my mi air 13! I've got a SATA drive in it too but windows wont let you get past the driver for NVME stage!
I bought EVM NVMe PCIe (2280) 256 GB, But Even after following steps shown by you for Gigabyte Tool, Unable to install Win 7 32 Bit, I am using Consistent H61 MotherBoard, Also Tried Intel and Samsung Drivers but not working. Pl. Reply Which Brand NVME you have used in Video ? EVM Support Guy Replied "It's Plug and Play, no need of Driver" Pl. Guide, Thank in Advance
Wouldn't it be easier to just copy and paste the driver onto the pendrive? when installing windows you have the option to load driver. Then you open the pendrive and load it.
So to clarify. You need a skylake or later intel processor in order to make this work? I have an Ivy bridge processor. Guess i'm stuck with windows 10.
@@P1utia Since then I upgraded to a new PC, but before that I got a PCI express to nvme adpapter and updated my BIOS and worked fine with the Ivy bridge. Had an asrock extreme 4 motherboard.
sad :( mine cant complete the process of patching the drivers. only this one" Mounting boot.wim image:1 WinPe" the next step cant proceed. even I wait a whole day
This whole " iso" thing is a mystery? What is this ? I do not yet have windows 7 running . How do we get and load this driver so the m2. Drive shows up on win 7 installation ? That is the whole problem here . I do not have win 7 running anywhere to make any " iso" if thats even what your doing ? I found the driver now what EXACTLY to do with it is the question .
Thank you for the video. I followed the steps exactly, but when I start up the windows installation it just takes me straight to the load drivers screen and it gives me errors about no drivers being available and get I stuck on that screen, I can't figure out what went wrong.
I'm being told that if using a bracket off the PCI x 4 slot (white) with an adapter on a DDR4 PC it can only use NMVe for storage and not for booting unless its a NVMe port is part of the mother board. I bought a used HP 800 G2 tower which shows a spec sheet with storage options including a Samsung 870 Evo as part of what they call their "turbo" option. That's what pushed me to buying this used HP on Ebay. It said nothing about not booting so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your fix will work otherwise I will be taking a heavy loss on selling it. Do you happen to know if the 800 G2 tower has an NVMe port or proprietary a card that will allow it to boot? Thanks
If the Samsung driver doesn't work with your NVMe drive you could try another trick: Install W7 in another HDD or SSD (faster). Later just clone the drive with W7 installed and working to your NVMe drive with an utility that support your NVMe (e.g. lastest version of Acronis True Image works).
@@ugeroolz Thanks for answer me; I just resolved by installing two W7 updates that enables W7 NVMe support. Anyway, I'm interested now to create a DVD with USB3.0/3.1 support so I can install W7 without using a PS2 keyboard.
Maybe that laptop needs other driver but I don't find any info about 400-AIIV drive. Try to configure your BIOS like this: www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/4/SLN301036/windows-10-install-with-nvme-ssd-and-sata-drives?lang=EN
Thanks for this helpful video. i followed the instructions and made a usb stick with the drivers and the image. unfortunately i have an issue with the harddrive when choosing the installation location. "windows can not be installed on the chosen drive because it equates the GPT Partition style". Not sure what to do about it. I thought it relates to legacy and uefi mode, but i cant even start the installation when everything is set to uefi. Any thoughts on what i am doing wrong?
If you havent found answer yet then you just need to delete all partitions from the disk you are using (if there are more than one) then click "new" that should work
the windows 7 usb image creator gets stuck at "cleaning up mount directory" and does nothing, what should i do? I did this with both my flash usb 2.0 16gb & flash usb 3.0 128gb & same result.I'm also using windows 10
Hola! Estoy por comprar un Corsair Mp510, pero lo colocaré en un adaptador NVMe---PCI Express, ¿podré hacerlo del mismo modo que lo hiciste con el Samsung?
Buenas Ignacio! pues ni idea jaja depende de si el driver de samsung coge ese modelo. O si Corsair tiene su propio driver meter ese en vez del Samsung. Otra opción que podrías hacer es instalarlo en otro disco (HDD o SSD) y luego clonarlo al NVMe con Acronis 19 (creo q las versiones anteriores no soportan los NVMe). Ya me cuentas!! Saludos
download link for Windows 7 USB 3.0 Creator Utility is broken and every link I see online points to the same broken page. Do you have access to the program? I can't find it anywhere.
Following this thread, it seems Dell 7480 use a Toshiba model: h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Need-Windows-7-Toshiba-NVME-drivers/td-p/5782017 Samsung driver will not work. Try the same procedure but with this driver instead: ocz.com/download/drivers/nvme/windows/ocznvme-1.2.126.843_whck.zip
If win7 don't recognize the nvme unit with the samsung driver you'll need to search the correct driver from WD and put it into the win7 installation image
I've only tested Xiaomi Air 13" version but, as far as I know, both Xiaomi Air use M.2 SSD drive so you'll have the same problem installing W7 in Air 12"
Hey! Zaki you're right!. I thought that both SSD were NVMe but Air 12 has a SATA SSD so... If Win7 installation don't find the SSD drive, I suppose the NVMe driver won't fix the problem. It will need another specific driver for this unit that you can insert into the W7 installation in the same way
I was able to install Win7 on the Air 12. For anyone wondering, here's what I had to do to avoid errors and driver issues: -Set BIOS mode to Legacy -Mount ISO on USB with Rufus using BIOS+UEFI-CSM scheme -Include x86 and x64 AHCI drivers from Intel's AHCI: F6 Floppy Disk Utility for AHCI in the image using the Windows USB 3.0 tool (in the same way this video includes the NVMe drivers) -Boot to USB and install normally
Hello, This tutorial only Works for Windows 7? I am trying to do it on Windows 10 and it gets stuck on the "cleaning up mount directory" every time on the last step. Thanks!
Have you tried just install win10 from original DVD/image? I think Win10 support NVMe drives. It has a native driver. At least I could install win10 in a Xiaomi Mi Air 13 from original DVD.
Yes. i tried to install win10 and it worked but i want windows 7. Anyway i managed to solve it. I follow this guide forum.notebookreview.com/threads/guide-installing-windows-7-on-an-nvme-ssd-from-a-usb-3-0-thumbdrive.783921/ and now i have the windows 7 installed on xiaomi air 13! thanks anyway
I also tried the intel usb creator for windows 10 but it gives an error (its on the same page for download). With the guide that I refer earlier it worked flawlessly.
Quick question, are all the drivers working on Windows 7? There is this Driver pack from Xiaomi but some people wrote that a few drivers are only working on Windows 10 (en.miui.com/thread-318018-1-1.html) Would be great to know if you got all drivers to work on Windows 7 :)
Not all of them will work. Just Chipset, WiFi, Dolby and maybe audio driver or bluetooth. I'm not sure. You can download the rest from these links: Video: downloadcenter.intel.com/es/download/26404/Intel-Graphics-Driver www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/114348/en-us Audio: www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false Bluetooth: downloadcenter.intel.com/es/download/26512/Intel-Wireless-Bluetooth-Software-for-Windows-7- USB 3.0: downloadcenter.intel.com/download/22824/USB-3-0-Driver-Intel-USB-3-0-eXtensible-Host-Controller-Driver-for-Intel-8-9-100-Series-and-Intel-C220-C610-Chipset-Family Touchpad: www.synaptics.com/resources Other: downloadcenter.intel.com/download/23888/Proc-IO-Intel-Processor-IO-Controller-Driver-for-Windows-7
Yesss all hardware are working fine. I prefer W7 because my other computers are running w7 (home and work) and I had a spare original license haha I almost forgot this hotfix for ACPI: hotfixv4.microsoft.com/Windows%207/Windows%20Server2008%20R2%20SP1/sp2/Fix459309/7600/free/475790_intl_x64_zip.exe
Okay great, didn`t know about that hotfix for ACPI :) Also a friend told me about the drivers for the Samsung SSD that made the reading rates double at his Air 13. You can find them here under drivers www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools.html I am still not sure if I should run Win 7 oder Win 10 - for further updates Win 10 seems to be the better alternative, but I dont like all these privacy problems that come with Win 10 :/
Hey just wanted to let you know that your tutorial worked great and got Windows 7installed in a few minutes! Everything is running great. Just the Mi OSD driver for the hotkeys is not working - did you get them to work? I heared from others they installed them as well and the Mi OSD app is running but nothing gets displayed
Thanks man! but it doesn't work for me! i can install windows 7 on 960 evo but when it completes installation and reboot, after booting windows, it shows a blue page and restart!!! what can i do? please someone tells!!!
@@Donnaya137 nope, it's too early to take out USB drive after 1st reboot. And, it will not work anyway. You need to skipstream windows updates into iso/usb before patching for nvme. Or you may get blue screen on reboot. And the installation will not go further.
I tried following this tutorial to install window 7 on a xiao mi air 12.5. But during installation using the window 7 USB 3.0 iimage creater, it got stuck at the "cleaning up mount directory" part.. help?
Another user had the same problem using this utility under windows 10. Could you try it under another Windows 7.based computer? Check this thread: communities.intel.com/thread/103485 On the other hand, we discussed here that the xiaomi air 12.5 version seems to use a SATA SSD unit (non-NVMe) so it would be possibe to install windows7 without second step of this tutorial. Could you confirm that? Can you see the drive in a simple installation of windows7 (just step1)? Thanks in advance!
I don't know why this method doesn't work in some computers. I think some of them have problems with DISM command. Try to use the guide followed by Joao Afonso: forum.notebookreview.com/threads/guide-installing-windows-7-on-an-nvme-ssd-from-a-usb-3-0-thumbdrive.783921/ or try the utility from other computer :)
How did you get Nvidia driver working? I tried several times, I did whole Windows updates, installed framework 4.6.2, etc but Nvidia driver still report error¨
OK, after trying MILLIONS of ways to get W7 installed on my Samsung NVMe drive, I found that MSI has the only working solution for me, and it is mega simple ! You will need: - MSI W7 Smart tool - W7 iso file Fucking simple. Simply run the MSI W7 Smart tool, select the W7 iso file, select to add USB, NVMe and iRST drivers. Then select your USB target flash drive. MSI then makes a bootable USB disk with NVMe drivers. All the fucking bullshit I had to do for fucking 2 days trying to install W7 on this Samsung 950 drive. Nobody except for MSI decided to make this simple tool, Not Intel, with their incomprehensible technical note, not Microsoft who should have included the NVMe drivers standard in the downloadable W7 iso. I guess that MS tries to make this stuff as difficult as possible, so ppl will not try to install W7 anymore. So, I think MS is telling everybody that they are not allowed to use the NVMe drivers or whatever. In fact, the Reddit poast about this subject has a not working link to the Samsung drivers. Anyway, I might have gotten a bit crazy, because how on earth is it possible that such a small missing driver can cause such problems, and so many post on internet with EXTENSIVE DIFFICULT explanations, all not working. (except for the solution of MSI, which is childish simple) My next mobo will be MSI, not Asus.
do you remember which laptob or mobo you downloaded the tool for/from. It seems there are many versions of msi's tool and most of them only do the usb part.
@@ThisIsTenou The latest driver works for older OEM drives such as SM961 or PM951 as W7 boot drive. PM981 is the latest in OEM line can work as W10 boot drive though. Preferred W7 because in W10 my Z77 chipset Intel USB3.0 will only run at 2.0 speed so got my fingers crossed waiting for next INF driver update hope can run W7 on PM981.
For those who need never drivers like for samsung nvme 970evo www.station-drivers.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=353&func=fileinfo&id=4205&lang=en
it only supports windows 10. you cannot use a nvme ssd for windows 7. many companies just doesn't support the drivers. you should just buy a ssd and use that instead or you have to download windows 10 in order to use the m2 ssd.

Hey! Zaki you're right!. I thought that both SSD were NVMe but Air 12 has a SATA SSD so... If Win7 installation don't find the SSD drive, I suppose the NVMe driver won't fix the problem. It will need another specific driver for this unit that you can insert into the W7 installation in the same way
I was able to install Win7 on the Air 12. For anyone wondering, here's what I had to do to avoid errors and driver issues:
-Set BIOS mode to Legacy
-Mount ISO on USB with Rufus using BIOS+UEFI-CSM scheme
-Include x86 and x64 AHCI drivers from Intel's AHCI: F6 Floppy Disk Utility for AHCI in the image using the Windows USB 3.0 tool (in the same way this video includes the NVMe drivers)
-Boot to USB and install normally
I'm glad you finally got it. Thanks for sharing the info!
Did you get wifi working after win7 install? mine not! ...wich drivers did you install?
Hi Roman! which notebook do you have?
If you have a Xiaomi Air check the first thread by Fox Fox

Hello,
This tutorial only Works for Windows 7?
I am trying to do it on Windows 10 and it gets stuck on the "cleaning up mount directory" every time on the last step.
Thanks!
Have you tried just install win10 from original DVD/image? I think Win10 support NVMe drives. It has a native driver. At least I could install win10 in a Xiaomi Mi Air 13 from original DVD.
Yes. i tried to install win10 and it worked but i want windows 7. Anyway i managed to solve it.
I follow this guide forum.notebookreview.com/threads/guide-installing-windows-7-on-an-nvme-ssd-from-a-usb-3-0-thumbdrive.783921/
and now i have the windows 7 installed on xiaomi air 13!
thanks anyway
hahaha sorry I misunderstood you. I'll test the software under win10. Thanks for the advice!!! and enjoy your xiaomi =)
I also tried the intel usb creator for windows 10 but it gives an error (its on the same page for download). With the guide that I refer earlier it worked flawlessly.
Work for ssd kingdian ( chip adata)??
Quick question, are all the drivers working on Windows 7? There is this Driver pack from Xiaomi but some people wrote that a few drivers are only working on Windows 10 (en.miui.com/thread-318018-1-1.html)
Would be great to know if you got all drivers to work on Windows 7 :)
Not all of them will work. Just Chipset, WiFi, Dolby and maybe audio driver or bluetooth. I'm not sure. You can download the rest from these links:

Okay great. And you got everything working with these drivers? Is
Windows 7 running good and would you prefer it over Windows 10?
Yesss all hardware are working fine. I prefer W7 because my other computers are running w7 (home and work) and I had a spare original license haha
I almost forgot this hotfix for ACPI:
hotfixv4.microsoft.com/Windows%207/Windows%20Server2008%20R2%20SP1/sp2/Fix459309/7600/free/475790_intl_x64_zip.exe
Okay great, didn`t know about that hotfix for ACPI :) Also a friend told
me about the drivers for the Samsung SSD that made the reading rates
double at his Air 13. You can find them here under drivers
www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools.html
I am still not sure if I should run Win 7 oder Win 10 - for further updates Win 10 seems to be the better alternative, but I dont like all these privacy problems that come with Win 10 :/
Hey just wanted to let you know that your tutorial worked great and got Windows 7installed in a few minutes! Everything is running great. Just the Mi OSD driver for the hotkeys is not working - did you get them to work? I heared from others they installed them as well and the Mi OSD app is running but nothing gets displayed
does this supports crucial P1 m.2 nvme
Does it have to be a Samsung NVMe SSD?
It should work with any SSD, as long as you have access to the drivers.
Even after install it still won't boot
Anyone knows if there is a performance difference between Windows 7 and Windows 10? :)
please update with drivers 970 evo, find for driver win7 please
970 works with 10 only
Someone tried on 970 EVO PLUS or 970 PRO NVMe ? Is it work ?
So only works for people with THAT SPECIFIC nvme ssd
GREAT lol just great
Thanks man! but it doesn't work for me! i can install windows 7 on 960 evo but when it completes installation and reboot, after booting windows, it shows a blue page and restart!!! what can i do? please someone tells!!!
Take the USB drive out when it reboots
@@Donnaya137 nope, it's too early to take out USB drive after 1st reboot. And, it will not work anyway.
You need to skipstream windows updates into iso/usb before patching for nvme. Or you may get blue screen on reboot. And the installation will not go further.
I tried following this tutorial to install window 7 on a xiao mi air 12.5. But during installation using the window 7 USB 3.0 iimage creater, it got stuck at the "cleaning up mount directory" part.. help?
Another user had the same problem using this utility under windows 10. Could you try it under another Windows 7.based computer? Check this thread:
communities.intel.com/thread/103485
On the other hand, we discussed here that the xiaomi air 12.5 version seems to use a SATA SSD unit (non-NVMe) so it would be possibe to install windows7 without second step of this tutorial. Could you confirm that? Can you see the drive in a simple installation of windows7 (just step1)? Thanks in advance!
i am using a window 7 based computer.
I don't know why this method doesn't work in some computers. I think some of them have problems with DISM command. Try to use the guide followed by Joao Afonso:
forum.notebookreview.com/threads/guide-installing-windows-7-on-an-nvme-ssd-from-a-usb-3-0-thumbdrive.783921/
or try the utility from other computer :)
so i swap over to another laptop, and it works. but during USB boot, it says "secure boot failure"
Try to disable "Secure Boot" option in the BIOS > Security menu. F2 to enter BIOS menu.
Put "Boot Type" to Legacy too
Amigo el Samsung nvme drivers sera compatible con el Western Digital black?
deberia funcionar. Si no lo hace tendrías que buscar sus drivers específicos y meterlos en la iso del mismo modo que los samsung en el video
How did you get Nvidia driver working? I tried several times, I did whole Windows updates, installed framework 4.6.2, etc but Nvidia driver still report error¨
Download the latest driver for Nvidia homepage.
www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/114348/en-us
cant get the NVME driver anymore from that link
now what?
I found this: support.lenovo.com/es/es/downloads/ds113000
Could you try it and check if it works?
does this work on my corsair m.2 mp510 or its only wotk to samsoung m.2 ?!
did you get an answer?
@@UUser1337 unfortunately no im using Windows 10 right now
OK, after trying MILLIONS of ways to get W7 installed on my Samsung NVMe drive, I found that MSI has the only working solution for me, and it is mega simple !
You will need:
- MSI W7 Smart tool
- W7 iso file
Fucking simple.
Simply run the MSI W7 Smart tool, select the W7 iso file, select to add USB, NVMe and iRST drivers.
Then select your USB target flash drive.
MSI then makes a bootable USB disk with NVMe drivers.
All the fucking bullshit I had to do for fucking 2 days trying to install W7 on this Samsung 950 drive.
Nobody except for MSI decided to make this simple tool, Not Intel, with their incomprehensible technical note, not Microsoft who should have included the NVMe drivers standard in the downloadable W7 iso.
I guess that MS tries to make this stuff as difficult as possible, so ppl will not try to install W7 anymore. So, I think MS is telling everybody that they are not allowed to use the NVMe drivers or whatever. In fact, the Reddit poast about this subject has a not working link to the Samsung drivers.
Anyway, I might have gotten a bit crazy, because how on earth is it possible that such a small missing driver can cause such problems, and so many post on internet with EXTENSIVE DIFFICULT explanations, all not working. (except for the solution of MSI, which is childish simple)
My next mobo will be MSI, not Asus.
do you remember which laptob or mobo you downloaded the tool for/from. It seems there are many versions of msi's tool and most of them only do the usb part.
Not working wih Samsung PM981. So sad.
No wonder, the PM981 is an OEM Product, not meant for the consumer. There aren't any drivers available, neither can you get support for it.
@@ThisIsTenou The latest driver works for older OEM drives such as SM961 or PM951 as W7 boot drive. PM981 is the latest in OEM line can work as W10 boot drive though. Preferred W7 because in W10 my Z77 chipset Intel USB3.0 will only run at 2.0 speed so got my fingers crossed waiting for next INF driver update hope can run W7 on PM981.
For those who need never drivers like for samsung nvme 970evo

Hi, anyone can help me to find drivers for ssd kingston a1000 240gb?
Try MSI Win7 Smart Tool utility. It adds universal NVME driver, not Samsung only.
Anyone uses Dell NVMe? Cant find any drivers for windows 7 64 bit
it only supports windows 10. you cannot use a nvme ssd for windows 7. many companies just doesn't support the drivers. you should just buy a ssd and use that instead or you have to download windows 10 in order to use the m2 ssd.
You need to use universal NVME driver, not Samsung one. Add universal NVME driver using MSI Win7 Smart Tool.
@@dannydorrito2315 Not true at all.
I hate these lazy kind of videos, they always leave you with more questions than when you started!.
All of this for windows 7/NvMe? By the time you was half way finished i had windows 10 installed on it no problem...
Too bad Win10 sucks.
2 steps🤔 wtf🚫😡
2 "SIMPLE" steps 😅🤣
HA HA HA . . . 2 "simply steps" :-D
