Support NVME disk on Windows 7

Intel has decided to remove support for the Enhanced Host Controller Interface host controller (USB2.0 specification) and keep only the Extensible Host Controller Interface host controller specification (USB3.0 specification) in their Sky-lake Chipset.  Even though the USB3 host controller is backward compatible with USB2 host controllers, Microsoft Windows 7 installation is not without adding in the appropriate drivers.

If you have NVME disk you should inject a hotfix from Microsoft. Here is a guide on how to make this work.

1. Download hotfix from MS
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hotfix/kbhotfix?kbnum=2990941&kbln=en-us

2. Download USB3 driver from Intel

3. Create folders on the host that has ADK installed.
C:\temp\Source
C:\temp\Mount
C:\temp\Hotfix
C:\temp\Drivers

4. Copy your Windows 7 WIM image to the Source folder.

5. Copy MS hotfix to the Hotfix folder

6. Unpack the intel driver and copy only the USB3 drivers to Drivers folder.


7. download this script

copy the script to the host with ADK and run it with administrative privilege.
wait for the task to complete.

Your Windows 7 image will now be able to be deployed to NVME disks.
