Windows 10: a curious M2 NVme question

Computer hp Pavillion 590-p0053w Desktop

I replaced the optane drive with a M2 NVme drive no problems other then taking it out of raid
mode in the bios. It now is my system drive.
According to the motherboard diagrams the wifi slot is also M2.

I'm wondering if I could put a Nvme drive in there and whether it would work/
The computer is hardwired to the router/modem so wifi is unnecessary .


Has anyone tried this ?

:)

Installing Windows 10 on an M2 SSD drive - will it work? Any tips?

Hi Neil

No need to worry, installing Windows 10 onto an M2 or NVMe M2 drive is no different to installing Windows 10 onto an ordinary drive, the same process applies . . .

Thank you to all that replied.

All of the links provided supplied very helpful and useful information, and, although I learned very much from them, they did not help in the slightest.

I believe I had a corrupted SSD card.

What did work flawlessly was this;

New M.2 SSD NVMe card (same exactly)

Download EaseUS Partition Manager FREE (yes, not a trial version) vers. 13 IMPORTANT

CLONE drive (not partition) to SSD

I had previously tried a clone with an earlier version of Part Mngr and although that worked to some degree, there were corruptions.

Also notable is that the m2 was installed on a add-in adapter card and the system was cloned on a mainboard that did not natively support M2
