Hi Dieter,
I’ve managed to solve all the problems and have everything installed and working. Thanks for the tips.
I’m using crystaldiskmark to check the read/write speed and it is only at 413 mb/s. I have a 970 Evo Plus so it should be a lot faster than this. Do you know if there’s any reason for this? I’ve followed your steps exactly.

Hello Dieter
How are you,

Recently and following your advice I successfully changed my old SSD (Samsung 840 500GB) for a new NVMe (Samsung 970 EVO 1TB) on my Asus Z-87 PRO board. I managed to modify successfully, following your steps the BIOS and I also successfully installed W'10 PRO, until now everything very well, I made the change quickly and without any problem. I congratulate you for your extensive explanations and your advice.

enter nickname: Read 3.813.19 Write 6.360.07 Total :10.173.27 (Samsung SSD 970 EVO 1TB 1000GB/2B2QEXE7)

But 4 days ago, I had a serious problem with my antivirus (Kaspersky TS) and I had to reinstall the W'10 OS.
I did it on the same NVMe (samsung 970 EVO 1TB) and at the time of installation I chose the option to delete and format the NVMe drive again.

The installation was apparently correct, but within a few minutes, I got the following error


It seems to be a BIOS error, although I'm not sure. I send you a copy of the modified Bios, where you can see that the module "NvmExpressDxe_4" has been inserted correctly

I send you an image of the units, you can see that in the NVMe volume, the 100MB volume that is responsible for starting the system is missing


and from the BIOS, you can see that the PATA connection is, but it is not in the BOOT order.


I have been reading on the net, the possible solution and I have found the following
https://kb.paragon-software.com/article/270

But I still think that the real problem is that in my NVMe drive, deleting the volume and doing the partition eliminated the part of 100MB that is responsible for booting the system.
Another option, it could be that when installing the OS, Windows would have put the boot sector in the 100MB partition of the old Samsung 840 SSD and not in the new NVMe
Maybe it would be fixed if I create a 100 Mb partition and insert the boot files that are likely to be in the reserved partition of the old disk (Samsung 840 SSD)
Can someone help me solve this problem?

Have you already tried to open the BIOS by using the UEFITool? If yes, what do you see there?

@Fernando:
Damn, i like intel. They are so cool. I can still use it like slave drive, and try do something with clover. This motherboards are almost perfect. But it makes me sad that unfortunately they didn't m.2 support for this motherboards.

@Fernando

Thanks for your guide and your tips and help. I've reinstalled W'10 Pro following your instructions and and I think I have obtained excellent test



but i've a doubt, when in your guide you writte

" "Secure Boot" and "Fast Boot" options are disabled and The "Compatibility Support Module" (CSM) can either be set to "Disabled""


After installation, those options should be kept as you write, isn't it?


And two more questions.

All the USB ports are failing. Do you know why?, before reinstallation, were correct and apparently everything is correct.



I've reinstalled usb drivers, but they continue to fail . What could be happening?

And another question, which is not typical of this thread or perhaps the forum itself, but I have noticed that after installing w'10 my GPU "Quadro P600", is slower or much slower than when I was w'7 and I have proposed to use the iGPU (integrated) for some minor works. I have made the corresponding change in the BIOS, but it doesn't works. Do you know any good tutorial that can guide me?

Again, thank you very much for everything.

@Fernando

Thanks, so you mean, I can restore previously BIOS settings, but always "secure boot" option Disabled? and "Fast boot"? Disabled or Enabled? and CSM?

Really, I don't understand what may be failing, because the Bios configuration is the same as before.

I would not like to use a USB port controller to add at least 1 more port.

Dear Fernando,

I have registered on this forum just to say THANK YOU for your nice tutorial, NVMe SSD has been successfully installed on ASRock Z68 Pro3 MBO using small FFS file inserted in BIOS as compressed.
So far, I left CSM option turned on because I need more time for migration from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

Best regards from Croatia!
