    Without opening a laptop how can you tell if it supports nvme drives?


    I got an Lenovo - S145-15AST 15.6" Laptop - AMD A6-Series - 4GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - Black

    And in the bios under boot theres CD ROM hard drive a couple others and nvme is also in there.

    Does that mean nvme is supported?

    I just don't want to buy an nvme and take the laptop apart just to find out it doesn't also I don't want to waste money.

    :)

    Laptops That Support A Secondary Storage Drive

    When you say "tons of them", do you mean that they have a ROM drive to remove or do they accommodate second drives specifically?

    I'll keep it a bit broad.
    • Intel i7 Generation 8
    • 15.6" Display
    • M.2 512GB NVMe SSD (C Drive)
    • 1TB Hard Drive or SSD secondary drive (D Drive)
    • NVIDIA Graphics
    • 6 cell battery (maybe)
    • 4G/5G LTE mobile broadband card

    When it comes to LTE cards, I'll listen to suggestions as I have never used one.

    I like good sound, but when it comes to laptops, I am not sure how choosy you can be.
    Please ask me what else I should include in the specs.

    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.

    Windows 10 installer don't detect NVMe drive

    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 ?
