I think you did not understand what we wrote.
Win 7 doesn't have the drivers to install on a MVMe drive (regardless of the brand).

Clearly understand what we are talking about. Win7 is a way older than nvme standart. Thats why it needs some drivers included to view and install on the nvme based ssd m2 module.
I removed the SATA SSD from my Elitebook 840 G2 (P4C18UC#ABA) and installed a Toshiba RC100 in the M.2 slot, but the drive does not appear as an available boot device.I have that same problem. I bought Toshiba RC100 M.2 SSD but can't use it.Elitebook 840 G2 does not boot from NVMe; detected in OS; bo... - HP Support Community - 6864413I have the exact same issue with a Elitebook 850 G2...

[SOLVED] Which SSD for my HP Laptop - Tech Support Forum
I have already read all the linked threads in HP-forum. Thanks anyway. The Toshiba RC100 is history.
It appears that machine only supports a 256gb 2260 nvme. And possibly only only a very specific one.
He didn't post again, so we don't know if any of those work.My laptop supports up to 256GB of M.2 SSD PCIe 2x2. Going to go with either the Crucial MX200 250GB, $125 @ Amazon, or the Transcend MTS600 256GB, $135 @ Amazon.
MicroCenter had a good deal on a Micron M600 256GB for $70 but they are sold out.
Without further information,you might be better off with a sata ssd. Let's hope that works for you.
The idea is to run 7upv40.cmd ( rt click it and run as administrator) . It then asks you to browse to folder containing the installation media.
It will then integrate the included drivers ( and optionally Simplix update pack) into the installation media.
It does that by mounting the boot.wim, integrates drivers and/or updates, then unmounts boot.wim.
Next it mounts install.wim ( whichever edition you selected),integrates drivers and/or updates, then unmounts install.wim.
Hello. It is me again.
The seller exchange my Toshiba Rc100 for Transcend 420S 240Gb. And now - everything is fine - I`ve installed WIN7 on it and runs great. It is not the solution of the problem, but it`s something - at least I have a working notebook with installed OS on it. Thanks all and best regards.
Glad you did it.
