I'm trying to get my Samsung 840 Evo SSD to enable AHCI, but have been reading and it appears to be more difficult than a few simple changes. I have an Early 2011 15" Macbook Pro. How do I get AHCI enabled for Windows 7?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the link. I'm still not sure what needs to be done. I made the changes in 'regedit' like the forum stated, but am still having issues. I will post screenshots below that are showing up. More assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I've updated everything, including my GPU. It was having some trouble, but downloaded the AMD self-detect and install. It fixed that problem.
I still don't have AHCI working. I went and downloaded off the Intel Series 6 Chipset drivers section of Intel's site, the AHCI drivers, but it is saying that my computer is not compatible.
Here is a link to the drivers I tried to install.

Someone please assist. Thank you.
Still need help with this! Anyone?
You can install the drivers using Device Manager. I did that on Windows 8.1 and it says "Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller" under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" from the link you posted.
This is almost an year old topic, but the missing SATA connection to the SSD is puzzling. Is the SATA speed being correctly negotiated?
Also, OP has ATAPI controllers. There is no SATA AHCI installed, probably SATA connection is missing.
On a 2012 MBP with a Samsung 840 Pro, Device Manager has
Probably. You might have to do Read and Write tests on both Mac OS X and Windows to see if AHCI does work on your SSD.
