Nota: On BIOS settings, Advanced sub-menu, PCH storage chip Configuration sub-menu, the M.2_1 and M.2_2 PCIE Storage RAID Support options are both "RST Controlled".
I tried setting them "Not RST Controlled" for the both Samsung SSD, but do get a blue screen when trying to boot...

System Boot order did not changes after 'not RST controlled' settings for the both NVMe SSD Samsung devices.

@Fernando,
Currently I have a bootable system with BIOS settings for "PCH Storage Configuration" to "RST controlled" option for the both Samsung NVMe SSD M.2 devices.
The bootable device is a 970, the other is a 960 for datas storage.
The RAID 0 array is build with two old SATA SSDs for datas storage usage also.
I have done a full system backup of the current working bootable 970 device on a external USB SSD device.

Before I try you procedure do I have to first set the BIOS settings to "Not RST controlled" for the both Samsung device ?

@Fernando,
1) This is a V15 configuration booting well only with these BIOS settings: SATA Mode = "Intel RST Premium", PCIE Storage RAID Support = "RST Controlled" for both Samsun devicess:


2) Trying the same V15 configuration with "Not RST Controlled" option does produce an endless loop trying boot without success..

3) Trying the SATA mode = "AHCI" and after breaking the RAID array under BIOS menu does produce also an endless loop trying boot without success..

@Fernando,
Many thanks for your help and do tests when I get time to morrow. At the moment I have restored to the v18 situation with the reported performance limitation.

@Fernando,
I do agree to have to try to force to install first Samsung NVMe driver.
But, as reported in previous posts #2428 and #2430 do you think (under Device Manager, Storage Control panel) I have to select the current "Intel Chipset SATA/PCIe RST Premium Controler" item, and ignore the big yellow warning message when trying to replace it with the Samsung NVMe driver ?
Nota:
As I remenber Samsung driver install application (Samsung_NVM_Express_Driver_3.3.exe) does check the physical presence of the device and does refuse installation if not present.
It seems in my case the 970 and 960 are both present but 'not detected' and so Samsung driver application installation does not work on a test I have done.
Do you think 'have disk' method will fail also due the 'no detection' problem ?

@Fernando,
in reply to #2440, I have done a "restore point", unplug the power cable of all other disks and keep only the system 970 SSD:



A try to manually force to update the current system driver (Intel RST) to Samsung NVMe driver does fail:


Conclusion: impossible to force the current system disk to be handled by Samsung driver.

I speak French too, and NO he did not use the "Have Disk"...

@100PIER
You do it like this (tu le fais comme ça)!

@Fernando, @MDM,
Many thanks for your help.
Here are 8 screenshots to illustrate the step by step update driver operation:

After step 8 and trying to boot on the system i observe a very strange situation:
Booting time did take more than 10 minutes ! I thought the system was not booting and abruptly a ding dong alerted me the system booted !

Here are 3 additional screenshots done after the very long booting situation:

Booting or rebooting does take 10 minutes, it is inacceptable.
Moreover, when repluging the RAID0 drive and setting properly BIOS parameters to 'RST Premium' , 'no RST controlled' each Samsung SSD, the system do refuse to boot (circle logo).

Personnal conclusion, installing V18 branch is a bad experience
I think only a clean manual resinstall W10 operation will clean the situation.

Please read CAREFULLY all the steps Fernando told you, I am sure you missed some!

You also deleted ALL the controllers (converted to NVMe ones - you only have 3 Samsung ones -WRONG), even the SATA one you still need!!
Simple solution - DELETE all of the NVMe drivers now (uninstall, choosing the software to be deleted too!), reboot (best into Safe Mode instantly), and only change the Microsoft NVMe one to Samsung. That should do it...
