You would be best suited to search for such compatibilities online. It depends on the board and the NVME combination, whether or not Windows 7 will boot on it. You may need to install both the storage controller and disk driver to your boot and install images.

Due to the various incompatibilities and not having time to figure out which NVMe/board options worked, I had decided to not use any NVMe for Win7 at all and only M.2 SATA SSD.

I've found that any NVMe SSD just works with a generic driver, you can use the Microsoft hotfixes, Phison driver, etc.

You can probably get a better SSD for cheaper btw
