Samsung nvme driver x86 inf install#

What I wanted to do : since I still have my former SATA SSD, on which that Windows install was originally made (and I remember having a similar issue when trying to boot from the NVME SSD until I installed the NVME driver on the SATA SSD before cloning to the NVME SSD), I figured that I could clone the Windows partition from the NVME SSD to the SATA SSD, in the hope that it would boot correctly from there, then fix the driver issues, then clone back to the NVME SSD. I tried booting from a Lubuntu live USB drive, but even that didn't work, I tried various BIOS/UEFI settings, to no avail.

From the same environment, I tried recovering the system from the only restore point available, seemingly made right before the Intel drivers update, didn't solve the problem either. Running the boot repair protocol at the next startup, then loading the 'pure' NVME drivers (2) from a DVD (a USB drive could not be loaded in that environment), it did see the Windows install, and pretended to fix something, but at the next startup nothing had changed. My mistake may have been to run the Samsung NVME driver update while the system was requesting a reboot to finalize the update of the Intel graphic and storage drivers - the Samsung installer issued an error warning, saying that it could not delete the current drivers or something similar, I should have made a screenshot. First, how can it even start at all (I can see the regular Windows logo) if the very device where the system is located can't be accessed ? Yesterday, I attempted to update graphic and storage drivers, in an effort to solve a long running issue of frequent BSOD failures, but it only made the situation way worse, as I got a dreaded BSOD at the next startup, with an error code 0x0000007B (1), which seems to mean that the system can no longer properly access the boot device. I run Windows 7 on a Samsung 950 Pro NVME SSD, on a machine based on an Intel i6700K CPU and Asus Maximus Hero VIII motherboard, with no discrete graphic card (integrated GPU). I just don't want to read those two words, 'reinstall Windows'.

If anyone has any clue, however far-fetched, please share.

I didn't get much useful input so far, so since I was passing by (originally for an unrelated issue) I figured that I could try here too, even though the odds of getting worthwhile advice for such a tricky issue on a video-specific forum are rather small. The whole thing about signing seems to me to be more about protecting Microsofts future interests.Copy from a request originally posted here yesterday : The new INF file will mean the 980 is no longer signed but signing, in reality, offers zero protection in itself. The speed and performance are identical on Win7, if not a bit faster (2%), to Win10. Very simple and quite effective and absolutely nothing to do with modifying drivers. Rename the INF file (otherwise the one you edited may not work or older drives) and install it manually. All you need to do is edit a line in the driver INF file with the new DeviceID (A80A on my device) and use the existing two SYS files. You should be able to find the old Win 7 drivers on the web.

This is how to get round it (works on 10 too and I really neither know nor care about 11).

I did and as most others say there is no driver. Samsung Magician recommended I update my drive to a 980pro.
