This specific version of DUET is just mapping the memory and initializing a bare UEFI environment for the operating system.
Unless the system is missing the RAM or doesn't boot at all (CPU related) anything over the handshake is pretty much on the OS shoulder.
If you install\uninstall the offending driver\software you'll might experience again the issue.

Hi,
i got nvme m2 disk module and pci-e adapter
my MB is old, ga-p55-ud3, without uefi

first i create usb bootable using duet 2019 (duet only, without refind, refind and clover freezes after i select boot device)
after this i am sucessfuly setup win10 in uefi mode

However, it is inconvenient for me to keep the USB flash drive all the time
also i have additional sata HDD (classical 3,5 inch sata drive for archives and trash)
I tried to write a duet in command line mode to the hard drive, but I got an error when copying boot files

Is it possible to install a duet on a second SATA disk instead of a flash drive?

@AlexeyKozin
It's not supported but you can eventually make it work.
See the post of @docdude about cloning the DUET USB to another disk type.

@AlexeyKozin
You can clone the usb that you have working to another disk and boot from there, i did it and i it works, after that u can hide the drive in windows and make a partition with the extra space of that disk!

Intel in general uses EFI as native protocol, so, for that you should enable "UEFI Boot" from the BIOS and follow the HOW to MAKE THE USB flash drive (non-bootable) for REFIND and also drop manually the NVME DXE within the "/EFI/Boot/drivers" directory.

Booting the NVME drive from older-UEFI capable board - REFIND mass-storage without DUET - with USBSetup:

Hello Everyone.

im trying to use DUET to boot windows 10 home on my PCIE PLEXTOR PX-256M9PeY (P02930107620). I have motherboard MSI FM2-A55-G43 (MS-7793) with BIOS AMI EFI 2.6 and AGESA RichlandPI V1.1.0.7. I can boot with Legacy+Uefi and only UEFI but its seems it does not see my PCI NVME ssd. So i did on USB 2.0 Windows instalation media by RUFUS on GPT and also made DUET stick using attached USBSetup as instuction said. I switch to full UEFI in bios than choose my DUET UEFI stick and boot. I saw the boot menager after that i see 3 options. I could boot my instllation media so i did and proceed the insalation on my PCIE SSD and after 1st part of instalation when i rebooted i dont see anywhere the option to boot from my PCIE. And im stuck here. I still see 3 options in DUET that i can boot installation media, installation media ntfs (?) and some kind rufus.efi (?). What should i do ? PCIE SSD is on GPT and i tried to rebuild the mbr. Didnt work. SHould i switched to legacy or do smth else?

@noInk
i boot from this usb-flash for setup and run windows 10

but cloned to sata-hdd image of this usb-flash partition not work

I think that i had the same problem, try to clone sector by sector (i did it with acronis), then u can resize the Duet partition to smaller size like 400mb and add the other partition with data.

@Vilarose

DUET is not supported on AMD platform.
If the board is UEFI compatible the Booting the NVME drive from older-UEFI capable board - REFIND mass-storage without DUET - with USBSetup: option should allow you to load the NVME driver by manually copying the "NvmExpressDxe.efi" to the USB "/EFI/Boot/drivers" directory.

@AlexeyKozin

If the board is UEFI compatible you need to clone the non-bootable resulting USB option Booting the NVME drive from older-UEFI capable board - REFIND mass-storage without DUET - with USBSetup:

I did it!!!

UEFI DUET installer:
1.recreate usb-flash (clean, format, boot, re-insert, Duet, refind)

MiniTool Partition Wizard
2. wipe sata-hdd + apply changes
3. rebuld MBR + apply changes
4. copy partition from usb-flash to sata-hdd as primary partition, with zero ofset + apply changes
5. set partition Active + apply changes

after rebooting windows booted without usb-flash at old non-uefi board

@AlexeyKozin

Yea, sometime the USB get corrupted somehow.

I did it anyway. I copied this file as you said and also after installation unplugged intstalation media stick. After that i saw in DUET only 1 option (that was my SSD). But 1 thing bothers me - I have 3000 Read and 1000 Write SSD and CristalDisk shows me 400 read and 1000 write (which is good for write). How i can change this?

@Vilarose

The PCI-express link speed is set by the bios and might change by how the signal is acquired and by how the slot is routed.
Also, certain solid state controller advertise their internal speed with compressed synthetic benchmark while giving much lower real result with non zero data.

I put this PCIE to 16x slot (ssd max is x4). Sooo there is nothing what i can do? :<
