Hello everyone,
I have recently bought a new M.2 NVMe SSD to install Windows 10 on, but after installing Windows from a USB created with the Windows Media Creation Tool (I have also tried with Rufus), the NVMe SSD is not recognized as a UEFI Hard Disk resulting in Windows being unable to finish the installation.
Some information:
Motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC
BIOS: MSI Click Bios (version: 7B85v1C)
SSD: WD Black SN750 NVMe SSD
The drive can be formatted and used to store files just fine, but I would really like to boot from it. I am running out of ideas though.
Any help or feedback would be much appreciated!
Best regards,
Christian

I have recently bought a new M.2 NVMe SSD to install Windows 10 on, but after installing Windows from a USB created with the Windows Media Creation Tool (I have also tried with Rufus), the NVMe SSD is not recognized as a UEFI Hard Disk resulting in Windows being unable to finish the installation.
- I have updated the BIOS to the latest version (that is not a beta)
- I have disabled CSM and Secure Boot
- I am booting the UEFI OS USB Hard Disk
- I have disconnected all other hard disks and devices
- I have been performing a clean install following Greg's guide (so many times with small variations...)
- Everything works fine until the installation is complete and the system needs to restart. This is where the Windows installation starts all over again. And yes, I have tried to remove the USB right before the system restarts. This will result in booting directly into the BIOS.
- I have looked up the NVMe SSD in the boot order in the BIOS, but it is not there. It is however visible in legacy mode if CSM is enabled.
- When booting Windows on my SATA SSD, I can see the NVMe drive having an EFI partition and also windows files on it.
I have also tried to clone Windows 10 from another hard disk, but unsuccessfully as my other hard disks have sector sizes of 512 and my NVMe SSD has a sector size of 4096.
I have tried to install Windows using a Recovery Drive, but the installation will freeze at 30% and result in an error explaining how windows was unable to install the recovery and no changes have been made.
The Troubleshooting tool has also been tested without any luck.
