Hello Everyone,

I recently just finished building my pc for the first time (last night) and as I was approaching the OS download step I could not get the Bios to recgonize my Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive. My motherboard states that it supports Nvme on boot. Im not sure if I installed it wrong, I installed at a 30 degree angle and screwed it in and that was it. I also inserted the Drive in the M2C_socket out of the 3 slots.

I appreciate your time and help.

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...

Thanks for the Reply. However all I was able to resolve the issues by just moving my Nvme from the C socket to the A socket. Thank you though !
