Why would I need to download and install firmware/driver for the NVMe?

I will definitely be referencing this post once I get the nerves up to actually start the cloning process! I'll probably do it sometime this week. I've not really done a lot of commandline stuff except network testing at work. I'll definitely post questions to this thread if I have any.

Wow, I can't believe it was as easy as the drive needing to be formatted. Once I formatted it as NTFS, it shows right up and I can read and write to the drive. Gosh, I feel so dumb. I appreciate both SkyNetRising and USAFRet's help. Now to figure out how to transfer my boot drive to the M.2 haha!

Well, It does look like my computer can see the drives, but I don't see the M.2 in file explorer and Bios doesn't see it. Could it be that it's formatted wrong and just needs to be formatted?

I hope these Images help communicate what I'm having an issue with.

I might very well not be looking in the right area. Can you point me in the right direction? I don't see a different section for NVME drives. I'll try and grab some screen shots of what I'm seeing.

Yup, I figured. I didn't touch that part. I think the M.2 genie is for easy setup (Which I'd rather avoid since it seems like it's going to delete everything and force a Raid.) I will say that the M.2 slot doesn't even show up when looking at the Storage. It only shows Sata Ports (In advanced...

So, I went into my BIOS and It gives me the option to enable "M.2 Genie" Assuming that it's trying to run things in a more consumer mindset? Looks like my drives are currently under AHCI. I feel like my only thought is that my motherboard is shoehorning this issue.

So Raiding is a function? Let me see if I can look around in Bios to see where that would be. The MSI bios made it seem like that was the only option when I was reading the manual.

I got an Samsung MNVe M.2 2tb drive a while ago and have been putting off tackling this project for a while because it gives me anxiety. Computer Specs: Processor: Intel Core i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00 GHz MB: MSI Z170A SLI PLUS (MS-7998) Bios Mode: UEFI Boot Drive: Sata SSD 250gb Storage: HDD 1TB...
