    Did you install the two nvme updates ?

    WD has no proprietary drivers, it needs the windows 7 nvme updates.

    Attached to the bottom of my post.
    I guess yes, cuz I'm using NTLite to build the iso.

    I manage to get my WD Black SN850 detected by my current Windows 7 (that installed on Samsung 970 EVO + got Samsung NVME proprietary driver), but the test speed are below average, badly. It's around 2350MB/s while the Samsung 970 EVO got 3500+MB/s.

    This WD Black SN850 is PCI gen 4, but the speed is below 970 EVO which is gen 3. Although my motherboard Asus Maximus IX Apex only support PCI gen 3, I suppose at least it would compete at around 3500MB/s because this WD was suppose to run maxed at 7000MB/s. Is it because it doesn't have proprietary drivers?

    And I'm still can't install windows 7 on this WD

    Have you correctly integrated the nvme updates into the installation media? Those two need to be integrated into installation media in a different way from other updates.

    It is done correctly by my updater at the start of this thread.

    OR, after you have integrated the updates into the running win7 on the samsung disk, you could try cloning it to the WD.

    Hmm. I'm not so sure. I'm really noob in this kind of PC problem

    I tried your way on the first page, all seems ok, until the last chapter where i need to select which windows i want to use, i select 4 (ultimate), then it's closed. Nothing else or more steps. Is that correct?

    I tried to run the windows 7 from WD that I cloned it from Samsung, it run until the Windows logo, then BSOD, auto restart, logo, BSOD again, restart ... looping like that. I will try to integrate the update again, probably I forgot 2 years ago (that Samsung).

    After you select the edition, it should ask to accept the license, then it should ask where you want to install to.

    If it's closed suddenly, then it means it crashed. I'll try again from beginning.

    EDIT : i tried it again from beginning, its good until all 4 completed, but never ask for license then auto closed ...

    OK. It seems I'm successfully make the new ISO with your program. Although it doesn't give me confirmation "to accept the license" as you said, but it's said "complete" and then auto close afterwards.

    I run the ISO, it's says date modified March 17, 2021 so it's success I guess?



    Using Rufus, I get my USB flashdrive as bootable patched Win7 and manage to install it on the new WD Black SN850 (FINALLY), although before that I got many trouble, including not detected, burn the files into CD (but not boot able, stupid me) and many others. But for whatever reason, finally can and it works. Thank you so much for the tutorials.

    Final conflict installing Win 7 on new NVME

    Some people specially ASUS motherboard's users may got this Secure Boot Violation warning sign when loading Win7. I look for info and ASUS website told me about how they protect the user's system from malware attack and by default enabling this feature (Microsoft Secure Boot). But since Win7 doesn't support Secure Boot
    (Secure Boot Overview | Microsoft Docs) update system with KB3133977, the system detect the loader OS not consistent and as result boot failed. The fix is easy, only go to BIOS (advanced mode), select boot, then secure boot, OS type change from Windows UEFI Mode to Other OS, save then restart. That's all the final problem and all is good now.

    I never had this problem with my Samsung 970 EVO before, probably because I never updated my win7

    Yes, that is correct, win7 doesn't support secure boot and it must be turned off.
