Hello Fernando,
i think my problem has to do with the topic: i am looking for APTIOV BIOS Modul to make a NMV SSD bootable fot W7 to install W7 at VHD.
Another way is to find NVM driver for SSD and install it befor installing W7 on VHD. In my old system i have W7 installed on VHD on SCSI drive and i must add driver for SCSI controller before W7 installed.
But i can not find a driver for SM951 NVM in "inf" form to install it for W7 installation. Es exists samsung driver for W7 in "exe" form, but it can be installed in W7 BS and not at installer process.
Thats why i am looking for native support for NVM M2 SSD bootable in APTIOV BIOS. And i hope es is problem discussed in this thread.

AMI Aptio IV and AMI Aptio V BIOSes are using the exact same NVMe modules. The only thing, which may be different, is the GUID of the header, but the real code, which is within the "body" of the module, is the same. Since I cannot imagine, that Gigabyte hasn't inserted a working NVMe EFI module into the BIOS of your X99 mainboard, you probably have not to care about an NVMe module for your system.

Download links to the latest "pure" 32/64bit Samsung NVMe drivers can be found within the start post of >this< thread.

The major Problem you face if you want to install Windows 7 on an NVMe Drive is, that you need a Windows 7 which has an UEFI Bootmanager. Normally Windows 7 does not support UEFI, only the Windows 8.1. and Windows 10 bcdboot.exe support UEFI drives.

But unless there is the rumor, I still believe that it is possible somehow, to install Windows 7 in UEFI mode.

According to my knowledge it is no problem to get Windows 7 installed in UEFI mode, if you use a tool like Rufus.

does that mean, you have to create your own UEFI bootable Windows 7 USB Stick? in order to realize it?

AFAIK the tool Rufus does it automaicly, if you choose the option "GPT partition scheme for UEFI".

Activate iGPU for Windows 7 installations

when i installed Windows from an USB stick that i created with Rufus with the option "GPT partition scheme for UEFI" i can't boot from it after it successfully installed all necessary files. It shows me EFI Shell with yellow letters

Questions:
1. Did you disconnect all disk drives except the Intel 750 SSD, before you started with the OS installation?
2. Did you choose the "(UEFI)" option, when you booted off the USB Flash Drive containing the Rufus image?
3. Which CSM setting and which Boot order did you choose within the BOOT section of the BIOS?

Hi Fernando.
I got myself a Plextor 256 Gb M8PeY PCI-e NVMe and i got a MSI B150 Gaming M3 motherboard.
I updated to the last bios and for MSI the boot from a PCI-e drive it's easy, just select UEFI instead of Legacy-UEFI at boot
and i installed and booted w10 x64. The problem is that i'm using the MS NVMe driver and i got Write speed issues. :(
The Read is at 1980 Mb/s but the Write is just 250 Mb/s seq and 6-9 Mb/s for the other (4k, 4k-64 in AS SSD).
The question is: can i use Samsung's driver (or any other driver)?
I tried the Intel's driver and it does not work. :(

Probably not, because the third party NVMe drivers usually only will support the SSDs, which are manufactured by the same Company.
Which are the HardwareIDs of the NVMe Controller (listed within the "Storage Controllers" section of the Device Manager)?

@stanhere:
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!

As you have wished, I have moved your post into the matching thread.
Please read the first post carefully and follow the guide. It is much easier than you might think.
By the way: We do not modify any mainboard BIOS upon request.

Good luck!
