i have searched long and hard, i simply can not find the answer here. I cant install windows on the NVMe Drive. i have attempted making windows from the microsoft download, from Rufus, and other sources as a latch ditch effort. all result in the same thing it simply does not work.
with secure boot disabled, other os selected, boot keys cleared, and CSM off the BIOS does not see the drive when rebooted. but if i boot off the UEFI Windows USB drive i can see and select my 970 to install windows on. once the install process finishes (takes only about 3mins) and the computer reboots. and goes right into the BIOS as it does not see a Boot drive. if i turn off secure boot select Windows EFI as my OS oppose to "other os" nothing happens on save. right back into the BIOS it goes. if i turn on CSM the BIOS sees the hard drive and i get an error where it says "reboot and select proper boot device" "or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"
i have attempted to install as MBR and GPT, switching from the two depending on BIOS settings. it's like windows is not creating the EFI boot sector.
i have followed the steps on, http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3473090/install-windows.html
everything is fine until #8 as the BIOS does not see the drive
Hardware: Asus Prime X470-PRO (Attempted with 4018 BIOS then upgraded to latest 4024) | 2700X | 970 EVO 2TB | 32 GB RAM | other shouldn't matter
