I've seen the previous thread that comes up when you Google search "can't boot from nvme m2" but it appears to be locked now so can't ask there - hence new thread.
I had a very similar set up - originally booting from an Samsung evo 860 1tb Sara SSD, and then installed a Samsung 970 1tb nvme m2 drive and installed windows 10 and all associated software on it, with the intention of it becoming my primary boot drive. Up till now I've been dual booting until I was ready to format the old drive.
Now I've swapped over, I can't boot from the nvme drive.
I've looked at the previous post, but the advice doesn't seem to quite tally with my bios (gigabyte z390 aorus elite). But also the suggestion from those posts is to install windows - that's fine, but won't it overwrite my current install?? The instructions at that point weren't clear given I would want to repair rather than install from scratch? Anyone able to carify?? Or give more bios specific instructions?
Having a crappy couple of days computer wise - 3 hard drives failed over 2 systems (one was failing, the second was old and started to fail when I started moving it around, and the third was a brand new 4tb barracuda Pro that was going to be my new primary photography drive - fortunately I still had the old primary). Urgh.
