Hi @salsiccioso ,
Welcome to The HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand the Victus By HP 16.1 Inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-D1 (53F51AV) is a powerful machine, but finding a Windows 7 driver for the NVMe storage might be difficult. Here's why:
- Official Support: HP officially supports Windows 10 and likely newer versions for this laptop. Windows 7 driver availability is unlikely on the HP website Software and Drivers for Victus by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-e0000
- Hardware Compatibility: NVMe storage became widely used after the release of Windows 7. There might not be compatible drivers available.
Here are some alternative approaches:
- Upgrade to Windows 10/11: This is the recommended approach. Windows 10 and 11 offer better performance, security features, and compatibility with modern hardware like NVMe.

I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
