I attempted to install the exact same card (M.2 Samsung 950 Pro) into a NUC5I7RYH, as well as a backup SATA (Seagate 1TB Laptop Gaming SSHD (Solid State Hybrid Drive) SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST1000LM014)) - Neither one of them worked with Windows 7 out of the gate, and I ended spending a 4-6 hour odyssey of googling BIOS upgrades, Firmware Upgrades, and downloading various and sundry windows drivers (my final count was around 8-10 before all was said and done).

Ironically, we thought that Windows 7 would have had better support - but, as it turns out, for Circa 2H2015+ hardware, it's probably not a great platform. Here's hoping that Windows 10 stabilizes for a few years, and all the vendors agree to support that platform....

There is Windows update for 7/2008r2 which adds NVME support you need to cook it into the image.

Use this guide http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/guide-installing-win... It worked for me. Also this :) http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/global/file/insight/201...
