NVMe Driver for windows 7

[kocmoc]

Hello all!

I bought this laptop with ssd "liteon ca1-8d128-hp".
I want to install window 7 on it, and I need NVMe drivers, where can I get them?

You are not going to be able to run Windows 7 effectively on an 8th gen Intel Core system.

Hi, @kocmoc

Huffer is correct...you will have no graphics, USB, and probably no wifi on W7.

I have zipped up and attached below, the only W7 NVMe drivers that I know of, that you can experiment with if you are so inclined.

Thank you, guys! I discovered these drivers before and tried them, but Win7 still doesn’t see them.

Very sadly ((

PS What OS does this driver support, Win8 and later versions?

You're very welcome.

The drivers are for W7, but they will only work on your NVME drive if it has one of the following hardware ID's...

Intel...PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0953

Look in your W10 installation and check the hardware ID for the nVMe drive controller and see if it matches any of those.

If not, then I suggest you google the ID and see who actually makes the drive and see if they supply W7 drivers for it.

If you are unfamiliar with how/where to find the hardware ID for a device, use this guide...

But circling back to what we posted yesterday...even if by chance you happen to install W7, your major devices...graphics, USB, wifi won't work.
