Spectre x360 Toshiba SSD NVME Driver

[jakehero]

All set up for Windows 7 on my new Spectre, but I can't find the NVMe driver for Toshiba XG5 1TB SSD that's inside this laptop. I was able to get the whole process working on the same computer with a Samsung SSD, so I know it can be done. Anyone know where I can find it?

I tried to add the NVMe hotfix from Microsoft to the install.wim, and I tried the drivers https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Need-Windows-7-Toshiba-NVME-dr... and https://www.win-raid.com/t29f25-Recommended-AHCI-RAID-and-NVMe-Drivers.html. No luck.

Did you make any software or hardware changes on your PC?

As you mentioned the SSD is not getting detected on your PC and you need drivers for Toshiba NVME SSD on your laptop.

I have checked the records and found only a few models of HP Pavilion laptops support NVMe.

Since the part you have replaced has tested from HP. I would recommend you to use HP genuine parts on your PC.
