I have a TD340 Lenovo tower server that I'm converting to a desktop for CAD use. I modded the BIOS to add NVMe support and have Windows 10 up and running on an EVO 970 via. PCIe adapter.
One of the programs I use is Multisim (electronic simulation) but none of my simulations run on this machine. Multisim itself runs but it gives me a timestamp error when I run a simulation. All of my simulations run fine on my Windows 7 machine so that leaves two possibilities. Either Multisim doesn't like the server hardware, or it doesn't like Windows 10. I assumed it was Windows 10 so I unplugged the NVMe and stuck in a SATA SSD and installed Windows 7 on it. Multisim now runs fine.
Well... Now I'm trying to clone the Windows 7 installation over to the NVMe. First I installed the KB patch to add NVMe support to Windows 7, then added the Samsung NVMe driver. I can see the drive in Windows, and I can clone to it, but the NVMe isn't bootable. The Windows Boot Manager doesn't show up in the BIOS under boot devices.
Has anyone successfully cloned Windows 7 over to an NVMe and had it boot?
According to its website,Multisim 14.2 supports Windows 10.Which version you are using? Only version 14 and below supports Windows 7
Circuit Design Suite will drop support for Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit), Windows Server 2008 R2, and all 32-bit Windows operating systems starting in 2021.So please update your app
MultisimLive Online Circuit Simulator also available
