Win 7 Native NVMe Hotfix... Have you installed it?

[Jimi_Mo]

I'm trying to get my new PCIe NVMe BPX drive working with Windows 7. Unlike Samsung, MyDigitalSSD.com does not have drivers for their product.

I'm just wondering if anyone here has installed this Hotfix and had any trouble with their system after installing it.

Thanks

Yes I installed the hotfix and after that windows recognized the BPX right away and installed the drivers automatically. So far it's a fantastic drive (128G), crystaldisk marks as advertised. My problem is I still can't get Windows 7 to install on it , Windows 10 installed on it but won't boot up , "The current BIOS setting do not fully support the boot device" 🙁

Thanks for the feedback. That's a relief.... nothing worse then installing something unfamiliar and then having more problems.

Update:

The Hotfix worked like you described and Win 7 loaded drivers.

Next, I went to Disk Management and initialized and formatted it.

Everything is working great. Thanks again

You need to initialize it. go to START/right click Computer/Manage/storage/Disk Management . You will see all your disks there click on the the nvme drive and format it follow the instructions that's it it will show now in my computer.
