    I could use some advise on using a NVMe card


    I have an Acer Predator G3-710 2016 (desktop) pc.
    I haven't found the motherboard specs, but in the meantime I attached 3 photos.
    Could it be that photo #1 shows the slot where the NVMe card plugs? (red rectangle)

    According to laurent_14 from the these are the available expansion ports in this pc:

    SATA 3.0: 4
    - One for DVD drive
    - One for HDD drive
    - 3 HDD bays so 2 free
    M.2 SSD: 1 (SATA 3.0)
    PCIe X1 3.0: 2
    PCIe X16 3.0: 1

    Thank you in advance guys

    Windows 10 installer don't detect NVMe drive

    I have 2 drives:

    • disk1 (SATA SSD, with Ubuntu 16.04)
      • partition1 (sda1: flag /boot)
      • partition2 (sda2: flag /home, encrypted by LUKS)
    • disk2 (NVMe SSD)

    So, the goal is to install Windows 10 on disk2 and boot it from GRUB (which is on sda1).

    What is the problem ?

    In disk-choose step, disk2 is missing. However Ubuntu 14.04 installer "see" this disk, so I assume that is software issue, rather than my hardware.

    What I tried to solve this problem ?

    • loaded Samsung NVMe drivers from this thread
    • patched Windows image using DISM tool by adding 2 updates. I followed this guide
    • tried to run Windows 10 installed on USB stick to install it

    All of them failed.

    Please help me to solve this issue.

    Thanks. This helped but only partly.

    NVMe disk is now listed in choose-disk step but installer says that its unable to install WIndows on this disk because it has MBR partition. Windows can only be installed on GPT disks in EFI systems.

    What should i do now ?

    I could use some advise on using a NVMe card

    Use bootloader from a SATA disk to boot Windows installation on a NVME disk

    I've managed to get the system booting from the NVME some other way:

    1. Converted the NVME to GPT using MBR2GPT.EXE
    2. Hacked NVME support into the bios
