![]() ![]() Instead and simpler is to use Windows 10 setup installation which is updated and contains NVMe driver. Unfortunatelly you can't do the same with setup. You have to integrate a Microsoft hotfix in installation so you can boot Windows. for everyone else out there who want to stick with Windows 7 there is a solution but it's not simple. With windows 8.1 or 10 however it works but I hate them so. Installing and booting Windows 7 on this drive simply is impossible there is no driver, no workaround in BIOS settings. I was looking and looking all over the internet for others who might have found a solution but nothing, am I the first who did it? Installed and booted Windows 7 圆4 on Samsung SM951 NVMe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ImgBurn is also a free downloadĮven though you think rufus cleans the disk, i would suggest using it thru the command prompt - check this link for one of the mods on the asus mobo support forum - see post 8 in the thread, with step by step instructions, including disk clean commands -Īfter a long week of desperation and anger I did the impossible. iso file, so i downloaded ImgBurn to convert it to. I used EaseUS ToDo backup, their free ware version (been using it since 2008) - when i clone, on the 2nd page where you select your target drive, at the bottom there's an option to do a "sector by sector" clone - it's a higher quality clone - but still leaves something out of the boot files (or possibly one of those partitions - i didn't think to check that) that as i stated, i needed to use the windows dvd to "repair" the installation so it would bootĪs to Rufus - i wasn't totally convinced it converted win 7 dvd to an. If you have a clone, even from a sata OS drive, you might try it - ramcity had it listed in their installation guide, so you might check there for any tips re cloning from a sata SSD to a PCI M.2 SSDĪnd just for general info, my system crashed twice when i tried changing the volume sizes of the partitions using windows management and 2nd time EaseUS Partition Manager, so i gave up trying to change partition sizes. Now that was using a PCI M.2 SSD that was already operating fine. I had cloned my xp941 after full installation, cloned it to a sata SSD, so i tried cloning back to the xp941 - it cloned but initially would not boot, until i used the windows dvd to "repair the installation". I've had to do clean installs of win 7 圆4 on my xp941 (Z97 mobo) twice, and the 2nd time was not that much easier - there is an "iffy" factor but, as an after thought, after i crashed my xp941 the 2nd time, i tried a "fred Flintstone" approach. ![]() That boot圆4.efi file should have been all you needed - did you do a disk clean on the M.2 before partitioning it GPT? ![]()
