USB 3.0 and NVMe Drivers not Integrating

Old NLite user and first time using NTLite. I have an issue in that drivers are not being integrated. On most of my computers, I have gone to Linux, but the wife wanted a smaller Windows laptop.
I have read https://www.win-raid.com/t750f25-Guide-Integration-of-drivers-into-a-Win-image.html with no success.
Issue is that I am trying to update my Windows 7 ISO (Downloaded from MS) with NVMe and USB 3.0 drivers. I inherited a Dell E7450 that was running Windows 7 Enterprise (SSD was wiped), and I was able to download the Dell ISO with Win 7 Pro and install it on the computer, but that is not the issue

I downloaded and extracted the Intel USB 3.0 drivers and integrated them. My SSD is mSATA Samsung PS851? which I'm hoping to update shortly
Problem is that Widows stalled at uncompressing the files ... and was very slow to even read my Flash Drive. Note that the ISO version from Dell installed in 10 minutes ... off of the same flash drive
1. I did not include any patches in my install and was wondering if there is any NVMe MS KB### or two that need to be integrated for my NTLite flash drive to work
2. Do I need to delete the Win32 (X86) drivers in the Intel folders. I get an error message in NTLite which I assumed I could just ignore
3. The SSD NVMe storage controller ended up being "BayHub", not Intel
4. A DVD version of my ISO, with and without USB drivers integrated did not install either thus question #1
Anything to help keep my pristine ISO version of Windows 7 installable through its EOL is appreciated.
Edit: not this either - https://www.ntlite.com/community/in...ent-gui-for-select-image-tasks.283/#post-2862
Edit: Need to check for the "boot.wim" https://www.win-raid.com/file.php?u...Integration_of_drivers_into_a_Win7/8/10_image

Windows 7 SP1(untouched iso) doesnt have native NVME support, you have to add it by either integrating kb3125574 or the nvme update(i forget which kb number it is) or by using a vendor specific driver, samsung in your case. You have to integrate any usb3 and nvme drivers into the install.wim and boot.wim - Microsoft Windows Setup, index 2 usually. Integrate them into index 1 Windows PE if you use PE.

BayHub may be intel because they do use the Bay naming for their chipsets.
 
Yeah, 2 sounds right if i remember correctly. If they are .msu packages you just add them to the Updates page and on the Apply page, in the left hand pane, you can choose to process other editions and wims in the source, expand the items in that list and read carefully.
