    You might try FlashBoot PRO method as I mentioned before.I mean in VirtualBox, as you don't have chances for native boot.

    So I'm trying to boot the Install image on an Acer laptop. I get the following screen, but once I hit enter it just reboots and doesn't proceed with booting.
    Any idea what might be happening?

    I tried to use this patch and boot Windows 7 setup on my Asus B360 on pure UEFI, but without luck. I'm going to integrate UefiSeven too to see how it goes.

    I am looking for Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 x64 Standard NVM Express Controller Drivers. Microsoft no longer supports Windows 7 so no help from them. I have googled it but no luck. Can anyone help me?

    Search for KB2990941 v3 + KB3087873 v2 to use original NVMe drivers. Or simply use update pack as it include it

    The only thing that worked for me was after install I set boot to EFI shell with USB in my bios. And it loaded all correct settings. And boom Windows loaded with pure UEFI.

    For me failed both solutions. So I dig out around my integrated drivers. And I found cause of this problem! In my image are integrated bunch of drivers. I was removing them one by one until I found problem is in Samsung secnvme.inf v3.0.0.1802 I had integrated it with v3.3.0.2003 together. Removing v3.0.0.1802 solved my problem. Seems something is broken in this driver

    I am having trouble installing drivers on windows 7 ultimate after installing the OS on a modern PC. Is there a guide where I can have windows 7 drivers be compatible with a PC that was designed to work with only Windows 10 OS or trick the system into thinking that Windows 7 drivers are compatible with it or inter grade all of windows 7 drivers and updates on an installation ISO.

    Now can't get "Load EFI Shell from USB" to work. Keeps saying secure boot is enabled but it isn't. So stuck at start up screen just like everybody else.

    Feel free to contact author. Btw, if is system bootable now, it should be about missing drivers, try to install them using Snappy Driver Installer

    System is bootable and used Driver Easy 5.6.15 Build 34863 but didn't help. Too many needed drivers to run stable.

    Edit: Just contacted author of flashboot pro with my discouraging thoughts. Waiting for response,

    I also was trying to inter grade all of windows 7 update and drivers thru installation but everything time I use the inter grade windows 7 on flash boot pro it keeps saying that the ISO exceeds the Fat32 format. It would be cool to see if an upgraded flash boot pro could extend the limit of Fat32 because the intergraded windows 7 ISO that was build was about 5 gigs worth of data.
