[my.social]

Hi

I build a new PC I got Z270E Mobo

I got Samsung NVME 960 pro SSD

Im trying to install windows on it but its not showing up in the bios or when choosing drive for windows installation

I tried every possible way i could find and still

I disabled CSM and cleared all keys

I unplugged all the SATA drives, only the M.2 NVME drive is installed

and still not showing

I appreciate the help from you guys if you can spend time with me

NVME SSDs do not appear within the BIOS until Windows creates the system partition with the EFI Boot Sector. Your M.2 SSD contains UEFI driver information within the firmware.

The M.2 drive has to be the only drive installed eliminating the need to choose the OS installation drive.

You need to do a UEFI install with a bootable UEFI USB drive with Windows 10 Setup on it.

I have done that already, I had my UEFI USB drive with windows on it, but when i get to chose a drive the NVME dosent show up, i unplugged every other SATA, the M.2 NVME the only drive installed

I updated the BIOS too, nothing happens

Download Windows 10

Choose first option:
Using the tool to upgrade this PC to Windows 10
next choose:
Using the tool to create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file).

thank you

i done it actually, i found how to get the ios image

I used rufus and i went with GPT Partition Scheme for UEFI and made the UEFI USB flash and tried it boot up windows didnt find the NVME Drive when windows want to me to chose a drive to install windows on, now ill try it again with MBR Partition Scheme for UEFI

I tired Rufus to make UEFI USB

but still for some reason this NVME Drive isnt showing up

I tried twice with MBR and GPT Partitions

windows boots up, but cant find the drive to install the windows

I think i need to do something in the bios but dont know exactly

should I leave the SATA mode to AHCI or change it ?
