Windows 10: Drivers w10 Pro for Samsung 970 Pro NVMe M.2 need drivers install

Trying to install w10 on new Samsung 970 Pro NVMe M.2 and during installation Windows cannot locate drivers when using either Dell's installer or Microsoft's. I saw on other posts that users were downloading an executable, "Samsung_NVM_Express_Driver_3.2.exe" not sure how one extracts the driver file from this .EXE?? Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys.

Cannot install Samsung NVMe driver for NVMe 970 Pro

The 970 Pro is NOT an OEM drive. And the OP said....

If it was an OEM drive it would have a listing like what Megahertz has in his "SM951" as opposed the the Samsung 950 Pro, which I also have.

And Samsung DOES provide drivers for the 970 Pro, and I know this because I have two 970 Pros installed in my main system, and 950 Pro in my backup system as shown in my system specs.

And even Samsung Magician is saying he needs the driver....

But, yes, the drive will function, but it may not perform well, and I'm not sure how TRIMM will work. Only time will tell.

With that (assuming the laptop does support "NVMe" instead of simple m.2 SATA drives) I wonder if the drive itself isn't damaged or a fake? It would also help if the OP posted an image of Magician showing the drive installed along with the error.

 

Samsung 970 EVO PRO NVMe M.2 drivers for new Win 10 Dell 3670

I need drivers for a Samsung 970 EVO PRO NVMe M.2 512 GB drive. The machine the drivers will install on does not have an internet connection for security reasons. Please advise how I can download the driver(s) on another machine and transfer them to the
target Win 10 machine.

Thanks in advance,

Joe
