Hey Verdipwnz,

What's a critical error plus? I never heard of that one. Also do you see 'Windows Boot Manager' in your boot menu after installing despite the corruption?

Also you might want to mod/update your GOP video.

yeah i thought so my self ... getting a cheaper uefi gfx ... i have the zotac 680 gtx 4gb version and tehre is no bios update for UEFI :/ so will have to get a 1060 or smt for that pc (the pc is an encoder for my streams)

@Fernando
No error messages! I was able to successfully unzip your compressed BIOS file with 7zip!

I have managed to get a clean install of Win 10 iso download onto the Intel 750 SSD and boot from that.

A big thank you to Win-RAID and Co.

Can any of you guys give me some detailed help now on how to get Win 7 64-bit SP1 on to the Intel 750 so that it boots to Win 7 instead of Win 10. I have read the guides on here (and elsewhere), and spent the last 21 days trying countless methods (too many to list here), and have to admit I have failed, but although I am down (yes depressed) I am not out.

Here is what I have:-

MOBO - Asus Maximus VII Gene : Part No - 90MB0130-M0EAY0 : BIOS : UEFI v.3003
CPU - Intel i7-4790K : Part No. BX80646174790K
GPU - Asus Nvida Geforce GTX970 : Model - GTX970-DCMOC-4GD5
MEM - Corsair Vengence Pro : Part No - CMY16GX3M2A1600C9R : DDR3 : 1600MHz
HDD - Intel 750 NVMe SSD : Part No - SSDPEDMW400G4X1 : 400GB

Thanks for reading, and any help appreciated

I would try doing USB install, but with modified/newer bootx64.efi file in efi/boot folder on pendrive itself (or using updated windows installer).
Here's a link to archive with updated file : LINK

After the switch, installer should load and after you add NVMe driver (for Win 7 x64) to see the drive, the rest should be easy.

@up Actually, Win 7 SP1 baked to pendrive using rufus won't work in UEFI mode without the above fix (even if USB/NVMe drivers are included).
At least that's how my clean copy of it behaved when I tried to boot from it.

Thank you - Here are the answers you ask for.

1) I downloaded a Win 10 ISO image, created a bootable USB using Rufus, and booted the machine off the USB.
2) The original motherboard did not come NVMe enabled, so I updated the BIOS driver to v.3003 which supports NVMe.

Having done this, I could see Windows 7 files downloading on the SSD, I selected the language, and started the set up, but kept getting either of these warning messages:-
"Set up was unable to create a new system partition or locate and existing partition"
or
"No signed device drivers were found"

I will get the latest Intel driver, and report back here soonest.

Meanwhile, if any of you think of anything else that could help, then please do share this with me.

Sounds helpful, I will try this too and update here soon. Thanks.

DJ KLIM:
Please compress the modded BIOS by using WinRAR v5.xx and re-attach it. Then I will look into it.

Hello All,
Making some progress, but not there yet.

After updating INtel driver to v.3.1.0.1009 and replacing the Rufus bootx64.efi file with the NVMe Pack 1 bootx64.efi file, I have got to "Where do you want to install Windows"

This gave me 4 options, list in this order:
Disk 8 Partition 1: Recovery Total Size 450MB Free Space 96MB Type OEM (Reserved)
Disk 8 Partition 2 Total Size 100MB Free Space 71MB Type System
Disk 8 Partition 3 Total Size 16MB Free Space 16MB Type MSR (Reserved)
Disk 8 Partition 4 Total Size 372GB Free Space 347GB Type Primary.

I selected Disk 8 Partition 4 and got this warning message
"The partitions on the disk selected for installation are not in the recommended order. For additional information about installing to GPT disks go to the Microsoft website and search for GPT. Do you want to proceed with installation? Option of either OK or Cancel.

Please can someone advise what best to do.

Thank you Fernando,

I am embarrassed to say that this has not worked, and feel sure it is me, so here are images of each step.
