Samsung 970 EVO 500GB M2 - Windows 10 Install Issues: I am trying to install a clean install of Windows 10 Pro on a Samsung MZ-V7E500BW 970 EVO 500 GB V-NAND M.2 PCI Express Solid State Drive which is installed in a Asus Z97-A motherboard with latest BIOS. Eav nt64 serial. Platinum note 4. The SSD has been installed in the M2 slot.
I have the m/b ASUS X99-PRO/USB3.1 and the m.2 drive Samsung SM951 256GB NVMe.
I spent 3 days trying and trying, reading forums, many people seem to have problem with m.2 drives. The m.2 drive does not appear in Windows 7 x64 installation. I do everything right as described in tutorials and forums. I used rufus and created an uefi usb stick fat32, gpt, bootx64.efi, etc. Windows 7 installation starts but no drive appears. I have no other drives connected untill I install windows. I tried the same with a windows 10 uefi boot and worked.. no problems at all, I was able to see the drive and create the required partitions. Windows 7 seem to need something extra to see the drive.. any help please?
