Windows 10: can windows ten be installed on an M.2 ssd?

Can windows ten be installed on an M.2 ssd?

:)

 

M.2 SSD not being able to boot from it, windows doesn't recognise.


Ok, this is what happened after all the comments and suggestions, @Dude: Thanx for the video, my mb had non e of those settings, it had the raid/option memory gene or achi. Can only choose one or the other. @Saltgrass, my settings did point out auto and enabled the pcie x4, gen 3. I did an bios flash as suggested, because my bios was not the latest version, after a reformat the m.2 was picked up, still cant install OS onto it as it states legacy not found, removed my dvd rom from the sata port to another, and the drive was found and installed. Only issue now is that it's still not my OS drive but it at least now works and is installed, but on the Intel rst drive the obtain memory gene option to enable is greyed out, and shows as disabled. However the program lists the M.2 and it is working 100%,. I installed overwhatch onto it, it performs perfectly. But will update the intel driver tonight and see if that makes any difference. Seems the bios flash enabled the settings listed by @Dude that was not present pre-flash.

So the m.2 drive works. I can game off it and install omnto it. Can not install windows on it, gene memmory is enabled, pcie x4 is on and on auto detect, Motherbaord lists all the drives connected, motherboard ahs been updated to latest bios. After flash new settings became available, m.2 is now on memmory gene enabled not achi, windows os is enabled and fast boost is enabled, intel rst is installed and lists all the ssds and the m.2, however the m.2 on memmory gene is dissabled and the option to enable is greyed out. Will update the driver as Essenbe suggested of the m.2 and see if anything changes. Thank you all for the help, I can now atleast use my m.2

 

Windows 10 Anniversary Update Install on M.2 SSD

I've tried to install this update but with no luck.

I think that it's the M.2 SSD that won't let windows update install itself. I tried so many times I lost count...

Here is my config (at least what is important for this problem):

C Drive: Samsung MZHPV128HDGM-00000 (SM951 M.2 SSD)

MotherBoard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI

RAM: 16GB (4*4GB) of HyperX CL9 (but I doubt that this could be the problem)

I had the M.2 SSD in an expansion card and I managed to put it in the other GPU-Slot - which I didn't use - but for the time being I tried to place the M.2 SSD in the M.2 SSd slot on the MB.

Till now nothing I've tried worked... so I would appreciate a little help here what to do.

I am constantly getting: 0xC1900101 - 0x20017 error code (yes I googled it how to fix it but still nothing).

I hope there is everything You need. If I missed something then please remind me!

Thank You in advance!
