    Windows 10 clean install on m.2 nvme


    I would like to do a clean reinstall of windows 10. I have two m.2 nvme drives, one is for os and programs, secondary for games.


    Is it necessary to remove the secondary drive to do a clean install?


    Hardware related, if it is necessary to remove the secondary drive do I have to replace the thermal pad?


    Thanks.

    :)

    Hi Crocodile_aligator

    Yes, Windows will load the correct driver for the NVMe M.2. the first time you boot up Windows 10 from that drive after cloning your drive . . .

    Windows 10 clean install on m.2 nvme

    Windows is not recognizing an NVMe M.2 drive

    Have Win 10Pro everything is fine except I can Not get a new NVMe M.2 to be recognized correctly by the OS it sees it as a SATA even though it is in a M.2 slot on Motherboard. I need more of an order of things to be done between the BIOS and Win 10. I
    installed a Samsung 970 Pro 1 TB drive in a Z270X Gaming 7 MB and Win 10 has a problem and it sees it and formatted it as a Sata with only a little less than 500g of space???
