Question ROG Maximus XI Formula + Samsung 970 Evo Plus

[FGAFabio]

Hello guys!

I've bought a M.2 Samsung 970 Evo Plus.
After updating the BIOS and fiddling with the BIOS settings, my SSD still isn't showing...

From what I understood on the support page for my MOBO (https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...2.1810245172.1558727094-1415712387.1552751972) it doesn't support the Evo Plus yet... Am I correct?

I'm asking this because I don't want to wait 2 months for compatibility thinking that is the problem when in reality the SSD is faulty...

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

NVMe SSDs do not appear within the BIOS until Windows creates the system partition with the EFI Boot Sector.

Can't boot from M.2 NVMe SSD

I had a Samsung 850 SSD (SATA) with Windows 10 on it. I bought Samsung 970 SSD (M.2). Turned off the computer, plugged it in, inserted a bootable USB stick with Windows 10 on it. Went directly to BIOS and changed boot priority to boot from the stick. Then, I installed Windows 10 on the new drive...
