[SOLVED] WIndows 10 won't install on SSD Samsung 970 EVO NVMe M.2 with MSI X399 Creation motherboard?

[leroy.leroi3]

Hi guys!

I've just build my own pc and tried to install Windows 10 with a bootable usb. Made 1 with the Windows Media Creation program, and one with the Rufus program. But both usb-sticks won't install Windows 10. I can select my SSD when installing, but when it's rebooting after installation it shows me a blue error screen with a sad smiley and stopcode: BUGCODE NDIS DRIVER.

But I've seen lots a people having issues with the SSD so I think it has something to do with that.
I've no clue what to do next, just want it to work!

My specs:

Motherboard: MSI MEG X399 Creation
CPU: AMD Ryxen TR4 2950x
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 64GB Kit (4 x 16GB) DDR4 3200MHz
GPU: 2x 1080 ti
POWER: CORSAIR HXi Series HX1200i
CPU Cooler: NZXT X62
SSD: SAMSUNG 1TB 970 EVO 2280

Hopefully somebody has the answer asap..
Thanks in advance!

Try detaching the Intel® Wireless-AC 9260 card before the install. If that works, then d/l the latest intel wifi driver for that board from MSI.

i had to use windows 10 fall creators 1709 (get it from windowsiso.net) to get it to install on my MSI MEG X399 Creation. (the lastest 1809 "oct 2018" -- refused to get past the hardware detection.... using the older installer worked!)

i found this solution from the MSI forums. the person noted that someone on reddit mentioned this.
