Colleague, thank you for the answer!
With files .efi I figured it out! Just looked at your post # 333, it is not clear with the file config.plist. At first I have BDU release 5050. I found the file config.plist in the \EFI\CLOVER\ directory and corrected the <Timeout>parameter. Second, I have this file big - 24KB, much longer than you have on the picture. From your post it is not clear whether it is necessary to somehow change the parameters of #DefaltLoader and DefaultVolume?

The second question is about Win7. And whether it is necessary to do the installation flash drive with the GPT partition table? I wanted to try to use the installation CD-ROM and at the time of searching for a disk to install the OS to slip a USB flash drive with native drivers NVMe from Intel. Wouldn't that work?

I didn't try with MBR.
I don't work with Intel, but it should work.

Don't forget Win7 has no native support for NVMe, so you have to slipstream the two KBs for that:

KB2990941
KB3087873

And don't forget your MB has no NVMe-slot, so you have to use a PCIe card.

PCI-Ex4 slot and adapter for NVMe SSD I naturally use. And there is a question about patches from MS! After all, the first patch is a universal NVMe driver, and the second one is a bug fix in the first one. Do I need to install them if I just already install a native driver from Intel?
Somewhere I read about choosing MBR or GPT partition table type when installing Win7 on NVMe SSD, but now I can't find this guide. Could you provide a link to the necessary information to read please?

Regard, Nick

Colleague, thank you for your answer! Last question. How does Clover-EFI bootloader understand that in the point 6a of the guide on the first page of this topic you need to boot from the installation media Win7 (say, USB stick), and in the point 8 already from the NVMe SSD? Is this a hand-made choice? Can you represent some screens?

If you use the hint in post #90 (DefaultLoader and DefaultVolume) and the driver is in the right folder, so that the install-routine can see your NVMe-SSD, the OS will be installed on it and on the first reboot you can see on the screen "Boot Microsoft EFI from EFI" (normally is the second icon) and the counter (Timeout) counts down until windows boots from EFI (the EFI-partition).

Thank you, my friend! Almost clear, I need to experiment!

I clone my old ssd to my new nvme, just i need to boot nvme by clover and i can't do that.
I boot clover pendrive and click on the first option to start windows and it gets black screen.
Can anyone save me?

Someone please?

@lucasmsi Sure. Unless you ran GPT on your old SSD, you can't clone straight from SSD (MBR) to NVMe (GPT).
Resaon : There is no boot sector UEFI can use.
IF your cloning software can compensate for that - You are good to go though

Hello guys
First, I want to thank you for the guidance I found in this forum.
After four days of fighting, I can finally join the group of resurrected Old computers with NVMe + Clover Bootloader Win 10 :)

I decided to share my case - I saw others with a similar configuration - if it can make it easier for others I will be glad!

Configuration:
Operating System: Windows 10 build 17763 (64-bit)
Motherboard Manufacturer: Gigabyte X79-UP4 v1.0 BIOS v F7 2014/03/19
Processor Information: Intel Core i7-3820 @ 3.60GHz Sandy Bridge-E Socket: LGA 2011 Speed ​​Measured: 3600.3 MHz [Turbo: 3800.3 MHz]
Total Physical Memory: 16303MB 4 x 4GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3-14933 Golden Empire CL10-10-10 D3-1866 XMP

Drive information:
Physical Drive 0: TOSHIBA MK5055GSXN
Device Size: 465GB
Barriers: D: E:
Interface Type: SATA

Physical Drive 1: TS256GMTE110S
Device Size: 238GB
Shares: C:
Interface Type: NVMe
Sector Bytes: 512
RPM: solid state

The NVMe device is mounted in the M2 SSD to the PCI Express 3.0 4x adapter, then into the 8x PCI slot on the motherboard

https://www.dekada.com/makki-%D0%B0%D0%B...ve1-p-2707.html

My setup:

1. I followed the original guide
2. I used SATA device 0 instead of USB to set up Clover
3. I hit a brick with copy / paste files as the guide is for the old version of Clover
4. I followed the tips in # 330, so thank you Thiersee
5. Then I got a running Bootloader Clover, but hit the next brick
6. I`v build a new USB Win 10 Ent LTSC EFI Setup with RUFOS, I got Clover interface, I see USB Win 10 Ent LTSC EFI Setup in the Clover boot list, BUT when I select the Boot EFI USB CD the next I see is "Windows Setup - Press any key to boot from DVD ..... "I press a key and then NOTHING .........
After a few days of being stuck on this point, I found somewhere on the web "Press F3 in Clover boot interface" AND VOALA THAT saved me :)

7. Put the USB Win 10 Ent LTSC EFI Setup after the Clover bootloader loads the interface, press F3 and you will see a HIDDEN new USB entry named "Windows EFI Boot or ".....( or just hit the new entry ) select it and the Windows 10 Setup will load FINE
8. Install Win 10 over NVMe and after the first reboot the setup will load automatically and make a second reboot on the second boot
9. After all it automatically loads and Congratulations !!! You have just resurrected you OLD PC with Windows 10 over NVMe :)

And here is my ultimate goal - test and benchmarks :)

Hi, i registered to ask a few questions. I'm using Rampage II extreme ( 2101 bios), window 10 1903, 1 SSD, 1 HDD. R2E has PCIe 2.0 and capable of x16 x16 x1 or x16 x8 x8. I have read quickly through 26 pages and follow the intrusion from page 1 and page 25 where to find-copy the efi file, press f3 in Clover etc.. I'm using 2 usb, one has clover and the other has window 10 installation media. My questions are:
1) Which one these options from attach files should i choose to install window 10 on nvme m.2 ssd?
2) Which nvme m.2 ssd do you recommend for my mobo?
3) I found the adapter from aliexpress and i wanna ask if it is able to use full bandwidth x16 from my mainboard PCie 2.0. Please advice better adapter for my mb if possible.
Link adapter: https://vi.aliexpress.com/i/32833383867.html
4) Assume i got everything done correct and successfully installed window 10 on my nvme ssd. Do i still need to boot to usb clover first or just prioritize ""Samsung 970 Evo nvme m.2 ssd" as first boot?
5) Lastly, what should i do if the usb clover decided to stop working? Do i have to do the whole process again? If i only need to make another usb clover with BDU then just prioritize it as first boot or have to do some configuration?

All in all, thank you all for the effort to make old system better in 2019.

Hi,

in case the CLOVER USB-Drive has been build in the rigth way:

1) My opinion: no one of them ! Set the Clover USB-Drive at the first position in the boot priorities, but boot the first time from your INSTALL USB-drive (boot manager) to install W10.
2) I don't know your MB, but the Samsung 970 EVO Plus is a very good choice (I own a 970 with 1 TB)!
3) You don't need full lane-bandwidth; the linked adapter supports two M.2 SSDs and one mSATA, it's in my opinion somehow "oversized".
4) Yes you need it, if your SSD is NOT detected by BIOS: Clover does NOT make a SSD detectable by BIOS! If you see the SSD in the BIOS, you don't need Clover !
5) Have a look to my posts in the thread.

Regards
