nvme boot

Hello Folks, I would REALLY appreciate some help with my new build. Summary: I have a newly built system that I installed Windows 10 Pro on a Samsung 970 Pro Evo NVME 512GB, installed Chrome, Steam, and a few other basic programs. Then I went to update the BIOS. Updated the BIOS from 816 to...

I'm looking to upgrade to Win10 soon, win7 -> win10 rather than clean install of win10 preferably. In preparation for that picked up a 2tb 970 evo plus M2 NVME. Installed it (z270, msi m6 ac. ), can see it in disk management. Cloned my SSD with Win7 to the 970 and tried to boot from it, only...

I decided to do a clean Windows 10 install on my ROG g752vt, but after installing windows 10 on the nvme it wont boot to windows. The BIOS only even lists the drive as a boot option when CSM is enabled and the SATA mode is set to AHCI. I have tried every combination of boot and storage...

Hi, I'm using an ASUS GL702VM-DB74. Been using it for 2 years now. Recently woke up and the laptop wouldn't boot windows. The Nvme wasn't showing in boot option in BIOS. It only showed in the Nvme configuration in the BIOS with it's description. Tried to reinstall Windows 10 but the Nvme...

My machine randomly shuts off. When restarted by me, it fails to boot, and cannot find the windows boot manager. My Windows boot manager is installed on a XPG M.2 2280 GAMMIX 256 GB M.2 NVMe SSD. When I enter the BIOS manually, the BIOS fails to recognise the NVMe SSD. There is one more SATA SSD...

Hi All! I have a Lenovo D30. There is no native NVME support on the motherboard, thus I bought a NVME PCIe card and M2 SSD. I cannot boot from this directly, because BOIS does not see it, so I am looking for an alternative solution for this issue. My current windows 10 on sata ssd detected and...

Hi, I recently upgraded my ssd nvme boot drive to a 1 tb in my laptop, I also have an old style 2tb hdd in there if this makes any difference. I am now left with the old 256gb nvme drive with all my data on it. I would like to sell this on or at least have someone else get use out of it but I...

Yesterday i bought a Samsung 970 Plus SSD. I went and tried to boot up into bios so i could set it up. But since i have fastboot on it boots too fast. I tried getting into bios through windows following directions i got from different online guides. I tried getting into the advanced startup but...

So I have a fresh install of windows 10 and everything has been working fine until a few hours ago. I forced shutdown after I had finished gaming for a bit by pressing and holding the power button on my case and come back a few hours later and my BIOS doesn't detect my nvme which is a 970evo...

I'm having some trouble with my ssd being detected. I have to boot up the system from 5 to 20ish times for the drive to be detected. Besides that the drive functions normally I have also done hardware checks (don't remember which programs) and they show the drive is healthy. I think the issue is...

I have replaced my old boot drive (samsung 830 series) with a 970 evo nvme. I also have a 1tb 850 evo sata ssd as main storage drive, for further reading reference. Initially I was having trouble installing windows and booting from nvme - it would still try to boot from the old boot drive...

Hello, I did a lot of digging and I figured that the Gigabyte Z370M DS3H motherboard does have one NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 2280 M.2 Connector, but I also read that even then it does not necessarily mean that you can boot from the NVMe. So I was wondering if this is possible. Link to the MOBO's...

Hi all , I got a odd problem , about a week ago I had a old b350 tomahawk board that died on me so I had to buy another board , so I ended up buying the x570 aorus pro board, now all I did was swap the nvme over to the new board and everything was fine, now this morning I wanted to do a fresh...

I've been embarking on my first-ever pc build and I've encountered yet another problem. I'm trying to install Windows 10 from a USB but I keep getting a screen saying No Device Drivers found. I've done some googling but the solutions are either a) unhelpful or b) beyond my expertise. I don't...

So, im building a PC for the girlfriend. She wants it to fast and capable of doing very mundane tasks for now with potentially some gaming added later. She also wants it fairly compact so i thought why not get her a mini PC (i always wanted to play with one). I did a bit of digging and found an...

Hi, I've read around some of the threads I could could find. I'm doing a fresh install of Win 10 to my new 2tb 660p. Should I partition a section just for Windows and another section for everything else? If so, what size would you suggest for each partition? Thanks

I recently received an NVME drive from a friend who had no use for it. I purchased a SATA enclosure for the drive as my motherboard doesn't have NVME support. The drive is able to hold files and definitely works. My plan was to have my OS be transferred to the NVME drive, and this was done...

I was looking at getting my first SSD so i was looking at the 500gb SATA 860 Evo but noticed that (at least in Sweden) the intel 660p NVME drive is cheaper, and after looking at some reviews it isn't the fastest NVME drive in the world but its obviously faster then the 860 Evo and that it only...
