I attempted to install the exact same card (M.2 Samsung 950 Pro) into a NUC5I7RYH, as well as a backup SATA (Seagate 1TB Laptop Gaming SSHD (Solid State Hybrid Drive) SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST1000LM014)) - Neither one of them worked with Windows 7 out of the gate, and I ended spending a 4-6 hour odyssey of googling BIOS upgrades, Firmware Upgrades, and downloading various and sundry windows drivers (my final count was around 8-10 before all was said and done).
Ironically, we thought that Windows 7 would have had better support - but, as it turns out, for Circa 2H2015+ hardware, it's probably not a great platform. Here's hoping that Windows 10 stabilizes for a few years, and all the vendors agree to support that platform....
- dogma1138 10y agoThere is Windows update for 7/2008r2 which adds NVME support you need to cook it into the image. Use this guide http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/guide-installing-windows-7-on-an-nvme-ssd-from-a-usb-3-0-thumbdrive.783921/ http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/guide-installing-win... It worked for me. Also this :) http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/global/file/insight/2015/08/NVMeSSD_User_Installation_Guide_whitepaper-0.pdf http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/global/file/insight/201... I have a windows 2008R2 box at home running on a 950pro.
