HowTo get Win7 installed onto a Modern AMD chipset System?

Operating Systems Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008

Hello forum! This is my first time writing a post (or whatever you call it) does anyone know how to install Windows 7 on my laptop that doesn’t have a csm mode. Here are the specs of my Lenovo Ideapad 3 15alc6 laptop:
amd ryzen 5500u
samsung nvme m.2 512gb
16 gb ddr4
uefi bios without csm/legacy mod

I tried a lot of iso images, flashboot pro, guides, but I couldn’t start the system. It installed itself but froze when starting.when booting in safe mode everything hung on the disk.sys driver. I don’t know what to do, but I want Windows 7.
I hope that someone will help me somehow, and if someone has already installed Windows 7 on the same or similar laptop, share the instructions/ISO with which they were able to install Windows 7.

@Bulbik
The BIOS of your laptop should be able to support booting off an NVMe SSD, but the old OS Win7 natively doesn’t contain the required NVMe driver to be able to detect your SSD.
So the most important first step is to load or integrate the missing Win7 compatible NVMe driver.
You may find some additional information within the start post of >this< thread.
Good luck!
