Question about ASUS Strix Z270f Gaming

I think this should actually work with any brand/type without any problems.

I made the experience more than a year ago that it is not possible with Windows 7, already when installing the Windows 7 operating system, the M.2 SSD or the controller is not recognised, Windows 7 does not have an NVMe driver.
If the SSD or motherboard manufacturer has a Windows 7 driver (so-called floppy driver), then the installation and of course booting should not be a problem.

But in the meantime Microsoft has a solution:

Keep in mind that the motherboard only supports 4GB of memory with Win7, consider installing W10 then you can boot your system via m.2 SSD and even need more memory (max.32GB). Greetings
