    Posted: 11 May 2018 at 6:23am
So I recently acquired a Samsung EVO 960 256GB nvme drive.

I decided that would be my main boot for my desktop and I proceeded to remove my single HDD in preparations of a Clean Windows 10 installation.

I made a UEFI Windows 10 installation on my USB and proceeded to do as many guides say.
I set CSM to Uefi only on Storage options and disabled secure boot.
Everything is smooth during installation, I select the Unassigned volume for my nvme drive and click "New" to make a new partitions for windows. Windows installation makes the 4 partition it needs and I click install on the Primary.

Everything loads great, I get to the last point at which Windows requires a restart.

Now this is where it all goes downhill, after installation UEFI doesn't recognize any Windows Loader under boot options. So as a result it keeps loading into my USB Win 10 Installer. Is there any fix to this?
I know Windows installs into the NVME ssd because I have sticked it in my laptop and under windows I can see all the files for a regular windows installation. Only UEFI boot option is missing and as a result it never boots into my NVME. Also, drive seems to function completely on my laptop i can use it perfectly as a secondary drive so in that regards can I assume the drive is working?

For Windows 10 ISO I have tried multiple at this point.
I have tried:
Windows Media Creation
Windows 10 (Redwood)
Windows 10 Dell Creation Tool

I have also tried cloning a friends 960 EVO Windows installation but the same issue still persist, UEFI Windows Loader doesnt show on my Bios Boot Options and as a result I can't boot into it.

So I am wondering if it's an issue with my motherboard. I have spent close to 15 hours doing the above Cry

My hardware is as follows:

Asrock X370 Taichi
Ryzen 1600
MSI GTX 1080 Ti Sea Hawk EK
16GB DDR4 3000Mhz (Set at stock 2113Mhz no XMP enabled yet)
Samsung 960 EVO NVME Drive 256GB
TP-Link 900 WiFi PCI-E Card

At this point I still haven't re-install any other drive yet to avoid windows misconfigured installation.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.Smile
