I repeated the experiment with Roll-Up slipstreamed ISO. It successfully booted and detected NVMe drive and installed MS Driver automatically that hotfix had already added to the Windows installation. Then shutdown the machine and added NVMe virtual disk and booted into Windows.

Then installed both hotfixes and restarted as required.

I installed Windows 7 in EFI Mode using original SP1 X17-24395.iso on Virtual SATA drive. One that was downloaded from MS with SP1 (X17-24395.iso) and then later sometime in 2016 I slipstreamed April 2015 servicing stack updates to it and created another Roll-Up ISO. I have some interesting results in VMWare 14. Many thanks and best weekend I spent some time exploring your suggestion. I will continue my experiments with Windows 10 now on VMWAre NVMe - Will also try your suggestion this weekend and explore further and update. Nevertheless it seems Windows 7 being almost near its end of extended support may no longer be supported anymore and no vendor one would now spend their efforts in designing drivers for Windows 7 anymore. I force update the modded Win7 driver provided and it installs but with an error code 52. After booting Windows of course it failed to detect NVMe disk. I enabled Testing Mode and added a Virtual NVMe disk to it. Then I attempted a different approach on an already installed Windows 7 VM. Unfortunately it did not work with Windows 7 on VMWare Virtual NVMe controller.ġ.ĝuring Clean Install – The setup still says No Signed Drivers FoundĢ. In the mean time, first of all many thanks to you all and special thanks to for even providing a modded Intel RST V16 Drivers for Windows 7. I am yest to test it on Virtualbox but seems you have already tried that. That’s where I was looking for any other generic drivers. Here I am experimenting in VMWare with Virtual NVMe - Yes, there seems to be some incompatibility between MS Hotfixes and VMWare NVMe Controller. Any help would be nice to know.Īre there any generic Signed NVMe drivers available anywhere? The specific Intel or Samsung one’s won’t work unless their own device is attached. I do not know what else to try and how to proceed. I press F8 during startup and disable Driver Signature Enforcement, still the same error. (Manually browse to a location) Now it says ‘No Signed Drivers are found’. I opted for OpenFabrics NVMe Express 1.5 and downloaded the same from However this needs to be added during Custom Install where Windows fails to detect NVMe device. Then I run the hotfix MSI file on a Working Windows 7 and looked for.ini, sys & cat files from Windows directories and tried to use them separately during installation, still it fails stating no signed driver found. If I integrate MS Hotfixes into the Windows 7 installer, the setup hangs at Starting Windows. I am having hard time making Windows 7 64bit work with NVMe drivers in VMWare Virtual Machine with an NVMe Virtual drive.
