How To Install Windows On A PCIe SSD

Thank you so much.. mobdro

I've tried switching USB ports as recommended by Microsoft's support community, but that didn't resolve the issue. I've been using the USB 2.0 to insert the thumb drive. Is there any way to install and activate Windows 7 by overcoming this issue? I've double-checked all the settings in this thread recommended above, following it step by step without fail.

Hi Shazalishaukhi, did you find a solution to this? I'm experiencing the same problem. Same SSD too.

Hello everyone. I have the H87 Pro4 and wish to upgrade my storage to m.2 nvme SSD. So before I take the plunge, here are my few question.

1. Can this motherboard support the m.2 nvme drive as a boot drive with the BETA Bios 2.40?

2. Seeing that in Asrock's official website, the H87 specs as
- 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot (PCIE2: x16 mode)
- 3 x PCI Express 2.0 x1 slots
- 2 x PCI slots (how many x slots are these?)

My graphic card is currently occupying the PCIE 3.0 slot, so if I were to buy a PCIE - M.2 NVME adapter, which slot will it be going to? As majority of the adapter list as only support PCI E X16, X8 and X4.

Here are a few adapter that I have shortlisted:
1. https://www.lazada.com.my/ugreen-pcie-to-m2-adapter-nvme-m2-pci-express-adapter-32gbps-pci-e-card-x4816-mb-key-ssd-computer-expansion-cards-i1259202191-s3778654999.html
2. https://www.lazada.com.my/ampcom-m2-nvme-to-pci-express-30-x4-adapter-card-32gbps-ssd-adapter-support-2280-2260-2242-2230-converter-to-desktop-pci-express-compatible-with-pci-e-x4-x8-x16-i1085064381-s3002540382.html

Would any of this work?

Has anyone had success with using m.2 with this motherboard?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Your PCIe SSD drive may not show in the Storage Configuration screen or Boot Order List, but make sure your Windows Installation Media (Whether USB or Optical Drive) does show in the Boot Order list. You should see UEFI: <Installation Media Device Name> entry in the list. ... You must use the one with the UEFI prefix.
