I recently got a thinkpad p51 that has nvme and sata drives. Issue is that windows 7 does not see either type of drive. I found nvme drivers that seemed to work and make the nvme drive even show in explorer in the browse for drivers window but then the windows installer would say i am missing a required cd/dvd device driver. At this point i think it may be that i need usb 3 drivers also. And all support staff say the p51 supports windows 7. Of course they expect you to figure out driver preloading etc on your own. Anyone have ideas?

Slipstream both the drivers.
Or use an expresscard USB2, or install from an SD card.
Or install on an older computer then image across during the first reboot.
Or, and stop me if this sounds crazy, STOP TRYING TO USE AN ANCIENT DEAD OS ON HARDWARE SIX YEARS NEWER THAN ITS LAST SERVICE PACK.

Oh, and if you get it to install, you'll probably need to do something about this.
