Your request has nothing to do with the topic of this thread, because your Z170 chipset mainboard natively supports NVMe.

The fact is that when connected to and from the hard drive it is not visible even in faults 10, when trying to install the nvme the driver writes "device is not connected". ssd samsung 970

Hello gents. Perfect work, thanks for hint.
I would like to ask you for kind help regards to gigabyte BIOS setting.
I followed instruction to adapt GA-H77M-D3H bios (F14) by protocols NVMe/NvmeSmm/NVMEINT13 extracted from GA-H97M-D3H using MMTool. Bios prepared and flashed successfully, but Im surprised there is not any NVMe mode in SATA MODE roll menu (only AHCI/IDE/RAID). have installed EVO850 SSD today, but Im thinking to buy NVMe (kingston KingSpec M.2 SSD) + PCIe reduction.
Can somebody using Gigabyte MB let me know, if the drive is shown only in case is connected and detected in BOOT ORDER selection or its displayed in SATA MODE as well?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, first post but what an excellent thread which has helped me in the past.

A query, I have an GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK motherboard (an excellent board prob the best I’ve ever bought) running W10 currently on an Samsung EVO 840.

As it’s my main work machine I was wanting to know the easiest method to clone the W10 operating system onto a recently purchased Samsung EVO 970.

My 1st attempt has obviously not gone to plan as the read / write speeds are no where close to the potential 2500s. I cloned the drive from the 840 to the 970. Reading through the thread it’s become obvious is that it’s operating a a MBR via a AHCI driver rather than an UEFI GPT drive and a NVME driver.

If anyone could give me the quickest method to set up the 970 appropriately so that I can clone the 840 across it would be appreciated. I’d prefer not to have to re install and re set up the W10 operating system.

Kind regards,

@Fernando:
So their is no way to get a NVME setup without a clean install? The reason I ask as I was one of the “upgraded” Win 8.1 users and don’t have the a W10 disk for installation.
Essentially all I have is the W8.1x64 install disk. The W10 came as part of the free upgrade era. [EDIT - I guess I've found part of my solution ... https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10 for Windows 10 download and media creation.

Still find it amazing that I have to re install for a NVME driver. This is why I have always preferred OSX.

Already on to it. If this is what has to be done ... it has to be done.
I guess after five odd years a fresh install is probably due.

Thanks for the input. Many thanks for this thread which got my other GA-Z77-UP5-TH Hackintosh build running brilliantly with a modded BIOS based off this thread.
Even after five years it still a fast machine running High Sierra, Mojave beta and W10.

So you have
a) to convert the partition scheme of your currently used system drive to GPT and
b) to replace the currently used system drive storage driver from AHCI to NVMe (requires changes within the registry),
before you can clone your currently used drive C.

Wow! It sounds VERY complicated! It might be possible for Windows 10, but the one I am using is Win 7...
I think I am giving up at the moment. Maybe eventually I will start from scratch in the future!
Thanks again for your help!

Fernando thanks for hint and patience!
I used another setup (MMTool) due to fact I found it on another web first. Currently BIOS is updated by the NvmExpressDxe_4 plugin by UEFItool as first post. The pictures in "how to" are really perfect guidance. Bios is successfully loaded into MB.
Seems I should be prepared and I can risk to buy the mentioned M2 disk. I will let you know about the result once will be delivered from Ali :) Seems to be quite good feedbacks for item 32847113544.
I'm looking forward to see progress in this bottleneck.

Hi Guys,
I success to install window 10 in NVME but I only get 600-700mb on PCIE 2.0. Is that anything I did wrongly ? Any advice for that ?

(Mobo: P8H67-M-LE NVME: PM961 )

Thanks

You are right. The speed go 2 times once I changed put in PCIe 2.0 x16 and without discrete graphics card. Is there any method if i need to use graphics card.?

Thanks @Fernando
