Upgrade the BIOS to F9 first. The description may not always list all feature patches.

It worked, I installed version F9 and I changed my windows 10 usb to version 21H1, after re-installing windows on the NVMe I got it to boot from the NVMe

Hi guys, I recently found a deal on a NVME M.2 ssd (WD Blue / WDS100T2B0C ) but I've been unable to boot from it after installing it.
I can see the drive when I open windows disk management. Is there anything I can do to make it work?

I have this motherboard: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z97-D3H-rev-10#ov and my bios version is F7

Did you install windows or a bootloader onto it? SSDS are shipped blank, they usually dont even have a partition table

I just added windows 10 to a usb and used it to install windows on the ssd

Did you install windows on this nvme SSD? Or did your PC already have a windows install and you added the nvme drive? I’m a little confused by you saying you can see it in windows disc manager, I assume that means your able to see it from a different drives windows install.

I had windows installed on my HDD, so I installed the SSD logged in and checked if it was detecting the M.2 before installing windows on the M.2, everything looked all right so I went ahead and cleaned my HDD and installed windows on my SSD. After booting the machine up it nothing happens, no bootable device found
