    [SOLVED] Disabling CSM makes M.2 boot drive unavailable ?

    Yes it did! Followed the steps in the link you provided. It was straightforward and went WAY better than anticipated. After the conversion, was able to disable CSM in the BIOS and enable SAM. Everything working great. Thanks again for the guidance!

    [SOLVED] Disabling CSM makes M.2 boot drive unavailable ?

    I went all new at that time to keep from dragging old baggage along; new mobo, NVMe, new Windows 10 install. Guess that's my concern with trying to convert...not knowing what might not be compatible after the fact. I don't have a burning desire to go to Windows 11, but updater does tell me my...

    Upgrade or Rebuild?

    I appreciate the feedback digitaldoc. Your look ahead is what I am missing in this equation. I like the thought, pick a good GPU now, buy a little time, and see what comes of the new CPU offerings. Was looking at the GTX 950, but without RAM, I could bump up.
