Since you finally saw the NVMe SSD in Windows, you know the SSD and PCIe-card are installed properly and working (hardware wise). Can someone confirm my Dell XPS 8700 with bios update A12 will support booting from NVMe drives? I read it did but just wanted to confirm Using SHIFT+F10 i can get to diskpart and no NVMe drive listed there or in bios. However, when i boot from my usb win10 media on the "select drive to install windows on" screen it does'nt list the drive still. I loaded the drivers for it from samsungs website and rebooted. When booted to windows i can use diskpart and i see the NVMe drive, i even did a "clean" command on it. Thanks in stuck a new HDD in the desktop and loaded windows on it. Have you made any headway? I was hoping to clone my OS from my older, slowing down Samsung P800 but would be fine with re-imaging Windows if that is necessaryģ) Any other advice? Am I better of sticking with a standard SATA SSD like the 860 (which should be much speedier than my PM800)? I was reading your post and it sound like you installed a PCI Adapter and mounted the drive in there, correct? A few questions:ġ) For the 8700 on BIOS a12 is installing that adapter (rather than using the MSATA slot) required?Ģ) Somewhere else I thought I read that you could not boot off of a drive in that type of adapter. I have tried plugging it in multiple times (in both AHCI and RAID but no matter what I do, the BIOS doesn't recognize it and if I go into the A12 Bios with F2 and navigate to MSATA it always says empty.
I just picked up a Samsung 970 EVO after I thought I verified that my Dell 8700 has an MSATA slot. Hi Blake - I am in a similar situation but it sounds like you have made it further than me.
