@snowind: Since I have never had access to a Silicon Motion NVMe SSD, I don't know which NVMe driver is the best for its NVMe Controller.

@ErrorReport: Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum and thanks for your "Error Report"!
You are right: The previously listed "AMD RAID Installer Set v2.09.28.009 for Win7-10 x64" was unusable with Windows 7 - my bad. Please excuse my mistake. I couldn't test it myself, because I neither am running Win7 nor want to get this OS installed onto an AMD RAID array.
As a consequence of your contribution I have just updated the AMD related section of the start post and hope, that everything is correct now. If not, please give me your feedback.

Now to your request for Win7 drivers for modern AMD RAID systems:
You cannot and will not find them within the start post of this thread, because Win7 is an outdated OS and not supported anymore by AMD and Microsoft. This thread has been designed by me just for users of a modern Windows OS (nevertheless I am offering some Win7 drivers within the start post, but only, it they are the latest and have been released for newer Operating Systems as well).
Users, who are running Win7 or want to install this OS, should better look into >this< specific Win7 Sub-Forum. >Here< is a thread about AMD RAID drivers for Win7.

It would be fine for all Win7 users with an AMD RAID system, if you or anyone else would start a new thread within the Win7 Sub-Forum about "Recommended AMD Storage Drivers for Win7".
Thanks in advance!

@ErrorReport: Thanks for the reply.

Incidentally, I don't know if you go in for Linux at all, but I am using this for the amd raid driver; github.com/thopiekar/rcraid-dkms

@snowind: Thanks for having tested the generic SiliconMotion NVMe driver.

Why this is not added on first page controller list?

@snowind:
Meanwhile I have tested the SiliconMotion NVMe driver v.10.4.32.6 with my Intel Z170 chipset system and got a not repairable BSOD while trying to reboot after the installation. So I cannot recommend to use this driver for an NVMe Controller of a bootable system drive.

@lingrapher:
Windows 8.1 has a generic in-box NVMe driver from Microsoft. So I think, that it is not necessary to integrate any third party NVMe driver into the ISO file or to load it at the beginning of the OS installation.
By the way - only the HGST NVMe Controller with the following HardwareIDs are supported by HGST/Western Digital NVMe driver while running Win8/8.1:
PCI\VEN_1C58&DEV_0003&CC_010802
Good luck!

@lingrapher: If you have a license for Win8, you can install Win8.1 as well (no new or additional license required).
You can find the HardwareIDs of an attached NVMe Controller while running any Windows OS, if you open the Device Manager, expand the "Storage Controllers" section, do a right-click onto the listed NVMe Controller (whichever name it has) and choose the options "Properties" > "Details" > "Property" > "HardwareIDs.
