Windows 10: question about reinstalling windows 10 onto a new nvme drive after a hardware upgrade

Will this work? (windows 10 reinstall +hardware upgrade question)

Right now, i’m planning to upgrade my cpu, gpu, mobo, ram, and add an nvme drive. Currently I have 2 SSDs in my computer. Here are the steps that I am going to take to reinstall windows when I upgrade

1. 
   Move all the things i want to save from my original C Drive SSD onto my secondary SSD
   
   
2. 
   Upgrade all the hardware
   
   
3. 
   Unplug my secondary SSD
   
   
4. 
   Make sure that only my C Drive SSD and new NVME are connected
   
   
5. 
   Delete all partitions from my original boot drive/C Drive SSD. (can i do this instead of pressing format?)
   
   
6. 
   install windows onto the new NVME
   
   
7. 
   Plug the secondary SSD back in. (will my secondary SSD still function properly and have all my stuff on it after this process?
   

Do i have these steps in the right order, and more importantly will this work???

just to recap, i’m reinstalling windows, i currently have it on an SSD, i want to have it on my new NVME when i reinstall.

Installing new NvMe drive and using it as primary boot runnig windows 10

Hello,

I have a preinstalled windows 10 along with 30+ apps(both from manufacturer and third party) running on my desktop. I recently bought the Samsung 960 evo NvMe drive and would like to use it as my new boot drive. I know that I have to create a bootable usb
drive, disconnect all other SSD/HDD, leave only the NvMe drive, install windows on it and then reconnect all the drives back.

I would like to understand how I could create an ISO image of my preinstalled windows 10(along with all the updates, hardware drivers and apps) and make a bootable USB out of it. Is it possible? if so, could anyone list the steps needed or point me to a
thread or post online? Thank you.

 

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.
