📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses installing Windows 7 onto a PCIe SSD, with the original poster questioning if it’s possible to install directly to the PCIe drive using a 2019 USB installer, or if a SATA drive is necessary first. Responders clarify that the drive should be detectable if properly supported, and drivers can be loaded during installation if needed. The overall sentiment suggests that installation is feasible but may require manual driver loading, though the thread also notes Windows 7’s end-of-life status.

If the drive is detectable during the install it should install just fine, otherwise you may need to load a driver via USB during the install.
Windows 7 is end of life in January and you may want to install a operating system that will be supported.
