Samsung NVMe Driver for Windows 7 64-bit OS

 
Burn the following 4 files into a blank CD:
 
  • nvme.cat
 
  • nvme.inf
 
  • nvme.sys
 
  • nvmeF.sys
 
Note: You can download the files from http://DavidApps.net/ArcGISpc/NVMe.zip
 
Print a CD Label.
 
 
Label your Samsung NVMe Driver CD for Windows 7 64-bit OS
 
 
This driver CD is critical.
 
Windows 7 is an old operating system. It has no clue how to deal with a Samsung NVMe internal SSD. While your ASUS X99-AII Motherboard readily recognizes the Samsung 950 PRO M.2 Internal SSD, Windows 7 will not be able to see it, as it lacks the drivers to negotiate an NVMe device.
 
You would need to add this Driver during the Window 7 installation process.
 
Note: This step is not required if you are installing Windows 10. It already has the necessary drivers.
