    Windows stopped booting from nvme ssd drive


    This is my first post here. Apologies if I trample over any ettiquettes. I am hopeful that some kind and knowledgable folk may be able to offer some advice!So, I built my 1st PC in Feb 2020 in order to start out experimenting with VR dev. I was/am a beginner in both disciplines! Main components: CPU: AMD Ryzen 52600xGPU: 1660 ti 16gb Ram500gb SSD nvme1tb HD 7200rpmEverything had been working fine until about a month ago.

    NVME SSD

    Tried this, and windows still didn't see the nvme ssd. It was a brand new nvme ssd right out of the box. Nothing works.

    NVME SSD

    Hi Adrian

    Boot your system into BIOS

    Disable CSM / UEFI

    Enable Secure Boot

    Then the installer should see the NVMe drive

    Format the drive

    Restart the machine

    Enable CSM / UEFI

    Disable Secure Boot

    The installer should then see the NVME SSD and allow you to install Windows 10 onto that drive . . .

    Windows stopped booting from nvme ssd drive

    Windows refuses to install on NVME SSD (Samsung 960 EVO)

    First, thanks everyone who copy-pasted the first relevant results they found in Google. I found those before I asked the question.

    The solution that I got to work is as follows:

    • Disable CSM / UEFI
    • Enable Secure Boot
    • Now the installer can access the NVME SSD
      • Format the drive
      • Restart the machine

    • Enable CSM / UEFI

    • Disable Secure Boot

    • Proceed to installer and now Windows will allow you to install to the NVME SSD drive
