Windows 10: How can I reinstall Windows 10 or at least fix/reformat my m.2 SSD driver?

So two days ago my Windows 10 laptop got an update from MS. After shutting down the pc and turning it back on I only got a black screen. The manufacturer logos shows up, with white dots going on in a circle but after that windows fails lo load and I can't get to go into WinRE.

I managed to back up my files booting from a Ubuntu USB drive but when I tried to use Gparted it couldn't format my m.2 SSD drive, I tried installing Ubuntu bu that also failed it couldn't write in some partitions.

I also tried fixing my PC with a Windows Pendrive. If I try reinstalling Windows it says it cant access the driver.

Using the repair command console I tried diskpart, but when I try to clean the driver all I get is an error message:


"DiskPart has encountered and error: Data error cyclic redundancy check.



see The System Event Log form more information."



I tried chkdsk:

"Cannot open volume for direct access."



and Scannow says

"Windows Resource Protection could no perform the requested operation"



I also tried System Restore which gives me and error message:


An unspecified error occurred during System Restore 0x80071a91


And Startup Repair just says it cant handle this.



All I need is a way to reformat it and get it to maybe run again.


Any ideas?

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

transfering windows 10 from sata ssd to m.2 ssd

Yes, here are your options:

Option 1: Cloning:

How to Clone or Move Your Windows 10 Installation to a Larger Hard Disk or SSD

Option 2: download, create a bootable copy, then perform a clean install then reinstall your apps. There is no deactivation involved.

Step 1: How
to download official Windows 10 ISO files

Step 2: Install the new SSD

Step 3:

• How to: Perform a clean install of Windows 10

When you upgraded from a previous version of Windows or receive a new computer preinstalled with Windows 10, what happened is the hardware (your PC) will get a digital entitlement, where a unique signature of the computer will be stored on Microsoft
Activation Servers. The Windows 7 or Windows 8 genuine license you were previously running will be exchanged for a diagnostics key.

Anytime you need to reinstall Windows 10 on that machine, just proceed to reinstall Windows 10. It will automatically reactivate.
You will prompted to enter a product key a couple times through the installation, click I don't have a key and Do this later.

There is no need to know or get a new key, but if you have issues with Digital Licensing or the Activation Troubleshooter, you can utilize an existing Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key
you already ownto reactivate if necessary. or use the reset function in Windows 10.
