[SOLVED] Gigabyte Sabre 15 Model 3168NGW - Install PCie NVME 2280

[marcopolosou]

Hi,

I have a Gigabyte Sabre 15 Model 3168NGW.

The Sabre 15 specs

PCie NVME spec

The original 128GB SATA ssd

Window 10 Home completely updated 20 Oct 2021

According to the specs, it supports M.2 sata ssd (2280) and PCie NVME (2280) cards.

The system drive at the presen is a 128GB form factor 2280 M.2 sata ssd.

The Bios is American Megatrends (Aptio) and updated to latest version via Gigabyte utility on 28 Oct 2021.

I cloned the system 128GB sata ssd to a 500GB PCie NVME (2280 form) ssd and then replaced the sata ssd with the new nvme ssd, but the laptop fails to boot from the NVME.

Upon checking the BIOS, it shows that the NVME Driver Controller does not exist.

How can I solve the problem of adding the NVME driver?

Thanks in advance

do you mean the driver not on the old os?

Thanks for responding.


Yes, I mean the driver.
In the BIOS, the message is "NVME Driver Controller not found and a 0. (Drivers present, but no controller)


I am wondering if I should try this, but not being an expert, don't want to ah heck up the laptop..😱

PS! The Win OS Build is 19043.1288

Perhaps that might be of significance.. don't know..🤔

In the storage info it states storage specs is based on region so it may be not all systems are setup for nvme drives. Only way to add support to the BIOS is through a BIOS update, see if that helps. Windows has nothing to do with this error.
