Update your Win 7 installation media

Thank you SIW2
ISO is modified now I will install the Nvme
This SSD HDD is hanging every time I shut down.

I am getting no where with this. I can not get the NVMe to show from within windows so there is no option to install from the SSD modified install media. I have tried to create USB media with boot success but still no NVME to install to. I must note The drive is mounted in the onboard NVMe slot. IT shows in the BIOS
The win7 media says no signed drivers regardless of where I point it. I have SIW2 drivers installed on two ssd drives nether will see the NVMe
Nor will any of my modified media copies done with 7UPv64p
I have one more option I have a new PCIe NVMe adapter card. If you think the system will see it if installled there.
This whole things is on the recent install of a Jingsha micro ITX system

I tried to get raw NVME drivers from PNY that is the maker of this NVMe its a PNY 1TB PCIe Gen3 X4

I still can't install, it keeps telling me to load drivers. I've updated the installation media with all possible drivers and updates related to nvme that I could find in this and other threads. Any clue how to continue? I'm on a Thinkpad L14 gen 2, intel i5 13th generation.

when I try to boot it from the usb, it freezes on the windows logo. this shouldn't be happening since I have all required nvme drivers. Guess I'll just use windows 10 then (instead of preinstalled 11)

there arent the vmd/irst drivers for win7 on some 11/12/13/14 gen intel oem machines. What options do you have in bios ?

I don't have any options related to that on my BIOS. Secure boot is disabled btw.

would I have a better luck with an amd laptop? man, I knew I shouldn't have gone with intel. guess I'll return this. any suggestions on amd laptops that can handle windows 7?

SIW2 said:

Ask at win raid forum. Canonkong does amd a lot, he uses desktops but he might know what is feasible for laptops.

I use desktop too of course. But I've been wanting a laptop for when I'm not at home or when I need to change my modem settings (which isn't located in my room). But this Thinkpad sucks. Instead of something repairable like you would expect, you get a machine that you can't even open. Legitimaly feels like I have an apple device with just how hard it is to open it. Decided not to try any further so I don't damage it.

Anyway. This tool is pretty nice. Will use it to install windows 7 to my laptop as the updated ISO I had is giving me errors for some reason.
Only issue I had with it is that it sometimes has a "press any key to continue" type thing but without the prompt. So it just appears frozen until you press a key.

I use the 7UPv64P tool(current version) with Simplix UpdatePack7R2 and its needed add-ons(current versions) every month to create a new Windows 7 Professional SP1 63-bit install disc.

If I need to do a clean install in a computer, all I need to do afterwards is install the needed device drivers, then configure its settings and features, then install its needed third-party apps.

From start to finish, it takes about 5 - 6 hours.

SIW2:
Because it's been 4 months since its release, will there be a new version coming out for the 7UPv64P tool?
The current version works fine for me in creating a new Windows 7 up-to-date install disc every month after "patch Tuesday", but I thought I'd ask anyway.
