Samsung 970 plus 2 TB to upgrade my laptop (Asus fx705gm Tuf gaming) ssd, instead of the standard one 128gb.
It's not supported by Samsung magician or migration...
I tried to install it's driver 3.3 , it comes always error says "Samsung nvme express device is not connected, connect the driver and try again".
And I've changed bios sata configuration to AHCI .
I'm connecting that 970 plus with external ssd enclosure by usb port
For info , I did clone before on it using macrium reflect.
But I did erased this all because I want that Evo 970 plus to be supported by Samsung magician and migration.
I've updated my bios.
I want to use Evo 970 plus as two drive, 500 GB for Windows and the rest in another drive .
 
My Facebook is Sam lalonde, the same profile picture as here, can you get in contact with me there to be able to send you photos it screenshot if I'm doing the right steps or not please?
 
No problem, thanks you for your patience with me...
I did setup new win 10 on the new ssd but guess what ! Magician still doesn't support plus the Samsung driver doesn't install and still the same error message...
But I've checked exactly what's the problem in magician.
I believe I know where the problem, I did some driver's updates from Intel website since long time , and now Samsung magician tells me that my ssd can't be supported because of Intel drive, and I must Setup windows or Samsung drive instead..
But I don't know how to remove that Intel drive to allow the Samsung drive to be installed!

I couldn't upload on that website or it's app...
It comes always with error.
But the good news is, which is the best solution.
I did uninstall the Intel driver which is related to storage, and them in bios sata configuration to AHCI and then I connected the new ssd, then new windows then Samsung drive installed then magician, and that's it ...
Thanks for help .
