m.2 drive help.

[JacobShire]

I have a 6700k i7 and a 1070 gpu.

my motherboard is a b150 gaming m3 (ms-7978) with the latest bios update installed as of today

I cant seem to boot windows from my m.2 drive. (WD Blue SN550 1TB NVMe Internal SSD)

when I go to board explorer it shows there is nothing plugged into the m.2 port

The following are my mobo settings for boot.

 

Full Screen Logo Display [Disabled]

GO2BIOS [disabed]

Bootup numlock state [on]

Info Block Effect [unlock]

Post Beep [Enabled]

AUTO CLR_CMOS [Disabled]

Boot Mode Select [uefi]

my two hard drives and my ssd are unplugged via the sata port however still have power going to them. 

it does not show a boot device i can select unless i have the flashdrive with windows plugged in. I am completely lost and I don't know what to do

i don't know if that board supports the sn550. did you try opening diskpart through cmd in the windows install?
