[SOLVED] Insalling windows with two NVME drives help pls

[JJ2012]

Hi

This is my first build so learning as I go.

I have bought two nvme drives a Samsung 970 plus and a Samsung 970. I've installed them on my Asus Crosshair Hero VIII 570x motherboard. When I go to put Windows 10 on how will I know which one is the plus as that is where I'd like Windows to be installed? I know I have to leave any other drives disconnected until after installing windows but, dont know how to do it with 2 x nvme installed.

Why not just leave the non plus disconnected until after you install?

You absolutely need to have only ONE drive connected when you do this install.
This includes any NVMe drives.

Wasn't sure if I could do that but, will uninstall it and put in after I've installed Windows if that is the easiest way. Thanks
