Windows would not install properly - catch up on my EPIC post for more details.

I just sent my EVO PRO back to the supplier for a refund. Spent 4 days trying to get it to work with the mobo and eventually gave up. No idea if it was the drive or the motherboard but there are some major incompatibilities with asus motherboards and samsung NVMe drives. My motherboard was the...

Well there is a point actually - If I thought there was even one thing I did not try, then I would be the first to admit that impatience got the better of me. If however I did try all legitimate possibilities, then sending everything back was the right thing for me to do. You will also see...

OK - if I still had the products , what fix would you suggest? ( Preferably one I hadn't tried)

Well here is the opinion of a Forbes journalist : https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2020/06/14/microsoft-windows-10-problems-testing-windows-insiders-windows-10-updates/#3c21b008173d and its pretty much been my experience as well

I believe you! Anything to get away from the instability of Windows 10 - but in my case I was defeated even before Windows 10 could punish me ;)

If you read the posts carefully, I mentioned a "fresh install" of windows. To me that doesn't mean a 7 year old version - Also , you would notice that @SkyNetRising somehow brought windows 7 into the conversation, not me. And then, you will also notice, that he suddenly jumped to the conclusion...

As a warning to others reading this never ending post who are thinking of building a PC - do not assume that your components will work together, like I did, and set aside a few weeks to fix it if they are incompatible or defective. Also, don't expect any help from the manufacturers and don't...

You really need to read carefully, or else you will get the wrong end of the stick. There is no given fact I was trying to install windows 7 - go back and read the posts slowly!

Why would I install windows 7 on a brand new high spec pc? I am stupid yes, but not that stupid. Your point about the compatibility of the chipset was why I attempted downloading and installing the latest chipset from ASUS to see if that was the issue - My CPU was the latest Ryzen 7. The...

No, if you pay attention to my posts, you will see very clearly that I was attempting to install the latest version of Windows 10 64 bit PRO

It was a completely new build. 1 Samsung EVO 970 pro drive. 1 ASUS A320I-K motherboard. 2x16 GB Corsair Vengance RAM - Ryzen 7 2700X CPU. No carry over of previous files - all surgically clean - all brand new components. I tried removing the USB and leaving in in place. There are a thousand...

Windows 10 is by far, the most unstable operating and bug ridden operating system that MS has ever produced, because its trying to be everything to everyone and failing at most things. Windows 7 at least was stable in its day.

Yes, I started this thread after the suppliers turned out to be useless. Some people might forgive me for thinking that going to the companies that make the stuff would be the first port of call. Your experience and outlook is obviously different to mine. The way I see it, some defective stuff...

If suppliers make components but don't engage with customers trying to use those components, their success will be very limited. I posted on 5 different forums including this one, besides speaking to 3 different suppliers. There were no solutions offered and it was in no way fast, so I am a bit...
