Windows 10: Drivers for Samsung 970 EVO

Hello, I have a Samsung 970 EVO disk and I am installing windows 10 but when installing it asks me for some drivers, I only find them as an .exe file but when loading them on the installation screen I do not see them inside the usb, I have to load another type archive? if so, where can i find it?

Samsung 860 EVO 2TB SSD

Thanks for your reply.

There is no driver software with the drive. The box only has the SSD and an information booklet. I did go to the Samsung website to find drivers but the only ones there are drivers that
support Samsung NVMe SSDs: SSD 970 PRO, 970 EVO, 970 EVO Plus, 960 PRO, 960 EVO and 950 PRO.

Also, the Samsung Magician software fails to recognize the drive. According to page 8 of the installation guide: "3) Magician shows only volumes mounted with letter." Since
I can't assign a drive letter that is of no use.

On another message board there is the suggestion to use a SATA to USB adapter which I'm going to try when the adapter comes in on Thursday. After that is third party formatting software.

 

Clone Boot disk ( Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250 GB) to Samsung 970 EVO PLUS







To clarify, this is the present BIOS. The Storage Boot Option Control is "Legacy", and the system boots from the Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250 GB fine.




Above is what presently shows up when I load Macrium.

If I understand you correctly, use Macrium to clone the entirety of Disk 4 (SSD 850) to Disk 5 (970 EVO). Set DISK 5 as the Z:\ drive. The clone from DISK 4 to DISK 5 should wipe the prior data during the clone.

Then when I reboot, set the boot order to DISK 5 or Z:\ (970 EVO).

Last two questions:
When in the BIOS during reboot, should the STORAGE BOOT OPTION CONTROL be set to UEFI?

Do I skip or follow the last step:
Code:
reagentc /enable <- this will re-enable the Windows Recovery Environment but it will not be in a recovery partition, it will stay on the new C: drive
reagentc /info <- this will show you where the Windows Recovery Environment is

Thank you so much NavyLCDR!!!

 

SAmsung 970 Evo plus 1TB drivers and software.

I have a HP Pavilion X360 convertible 15"

The laptop came with a 1TB 5400 rpm hdd and a 16GB Optane module. I disabled the optane, removed it, and installed the 970 Evo plus. I did a clean install of Win 10 to the ssd.

The laptop boots to windows and everything runs well, but I can't install the Samsung NVME Drivers and Samsung Magician software doesn't completely work like it should. Device manager show SSD drivers are Microsoft. Raid mode is not enabled.

When I try to install Samsung drivers I get error message NVM Express device is not connected. Samsung compatibility error shows The device is connected to the driver, Intel corp. 17.11.0.1000 that Magician doesn't support. Use Microsoft or Samsung NVMe driver.

This is the only storage entry in device manager and the Intel controller drivers are V. 17.11.0.1000





I have asked for help elsewhere and searched elsewhere with no luck on resolving this.

Are there Microsoft drivers that the Intel controller can use? Any help would be appreciated

Thanks.
