@sjsingle1:
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
With your current system you will not be able to boot off the NVMe SSD, because this requires an UEFI BIOS (unless your NVMe SSD is a Samsung 950 Pro).
Nevertheless you can install the OS Win7 onto the NVMe, but you have to integrate the MS NVMe Hotfixes into the boot.wim and install.wim of the Win7 image before you start the installation.
The boot sector has to be outside the NVMe SSD. For details look >here< or >here<.
Good luck!

My current System:
MB: ASRock X570 Pro4, CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600, System Drive: 500 GB Samsung 980 Pro, Graphics: Sapphire Radeon RX570, OS: Win10 x64 Pro

@sjsingle1:
The MS NVMe driver cannot be extracted from the MS NVMe Hotfix. You have to integrate the MS NVMe Hotfix(es) into the boot wim and install.wim of the Win7 ISO file to get NVMe support from scratch.

@sjsingle1 - Here's a good tool and method to modify the ISO - https://www.sevenforums.com/installation...tml#post3397930

OR, you can do on a clean install, update in live OS, then pull the WIM and make a new ISO (This can also be done in VMWare, if you do here, be sure you uninstall VMWare tools before your final shut down and pull of WIM)
http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=933062

I use both methods above at various times for various things, but most often I use VMWare and live clean install, to keep updated and pull WIM each time there is updates or I want to add something into a clean install ISO

Please don't send PM's for help on BIOS edits, I can't help with BIOS in PM's. Please make a thread and I will try to help as soon as I can - thanks!
