Windows 7 pro (64 bit) installation does not recognize Samsung EVO 850 SSD on an H81M-P33 board

So I got a new computer with the MSI H81M-P33 mainboard, plugged in my Samsung EVO 850 SSD (MZ-75E250B) into SATA and tried to boot from the Windows 7 CD. The installation fails to recognize the SSD and now I'm wondering if I need to load some drivers during the installation. What drivers do I need?

I found this archive but it consists of a Setup.exe that needs to be run on an installed system. Can I somehow extract the driver and put it on a USB drive to load during Windows installation?

After installation, apply this fix if needed.
