    Samsung 950 PRO 512GB M.2 NVMe not recognised after installing windows


    Hello everyone,

    I have encountered a problem with Samsung 950 PRO 512GB M.2 NVMe. I would appreciate your help as my knowledge in hardware and software is minimal. So thank you in advance.

    I have just finished installing windows 10 in a new pc while using old HDD drives I had from my older pc. I have purchased Samsung 950 PRO 512GB M.2 NVMe to be my boot drive and purchased the samsung 850 ssd for regular storage.

    In addition to the above I already had 2 older HDDs from my previous pc that I connected them for extra storage.
    When I started the windows 10 installation I chose custom so that I could choose the NVME ssd for installation and boot, however, I noticed that I couldn't differentiate between the two samsung ssds as both were 512 gb and windows only called each 'drive 1 or drive 2' and so on.

    So, I randomly chose one and I think it appears to be the 850 that was installed, to my dismay.
    Now the issue is that I cannot locate the NVME drive on 'this pc' although it is seen in BIOS for boot drive. To confuse me even more, in the BIOS I cannot see the M_1 slot when I go to advenced then storage in BIOS, the other 3 drives are located by their different satas.
    I don't know what to do.
    to summarise I would appreciate it if someone can help me in getting:
    1 - the samsung 950 to be my installed windows, currently it says its the boot drive but i dont know if it needs to have windows installed on it
    2 - to have the NVME recognised by windows so I can use it for storage and so on.

    my mother board is ASROCK Z170 EXTREME 7+
    cpu intel i7-6700k

    Thank you so much for your kind help.

    :)

  3. Can't update Windows 10 to build 14328 due to error 0x800704cf

    Can't update to 14332 either. Same error (0xc0000185).

    Converted the esd file to an ISO and tried it that way. I got error code 0xC1900101 - 0x20017 - Install failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during the boot operation.

    After some research, seems to be a lot of different reasons that one may get these errors, but a lot of them are due to drivers.

    I'm thinking it may have to do with my Samsung 950 Pro NVME drive or add on card. I did a clean install of Windows 10 on the 950 Pro when I got it and everything went fine. I am on the fast ring and
    upgraded to 14316 no problem. The 950 was installed on my motherboards M2 slot but it was only X2. So I added a SilverStone dual M2 to PCI-E X4 card and moved the 950 there. No issues. However, since
    then I have not been able to upgrade.
