ubuntu + Windows 7 on inspiron 3580
Hi. I recently purchased an inspiron 3580 with ubuntu preinstalled on PCIe SSD storage. I am trying to install windows 7 but i cant find the SSD drive in the installation menu of windows. I guess this happens due to lack of drivers. Is there any driver available for this case? Thanks in advance.

Hi!
Win 7 didn't natively support PCIe NVMe drives.
Here's your solution

Neither CSM nor WINDOWS 7 is an option with Latitude/INSPIRON 3580.
64 bit WINDOWS 10 is the only option for newer processors from now on.
Windows 7 is end of life in JAN 2020.
This is enforced by NVIDIA, ATI, INTEL, MICROSOFT, ETC.
Skylake systems were the last versions that supported windows 7 back in 2015.
