NVME troubles

[ghostyapex]

Hello, I am new to this Forum. My friend is having trouble booting with his new ssd m.2 card. He is trying to use a  KingSpec NX Series 2TB with a Asrock B450m. We keep trying to change things in the bios but nothing is working. I am thinking the only way is to find use an adapter and download all existing files onto the new ssd, though I do not know if that will work. Please let us know what we can do to fix this issue.

Is your friend trying to boot from the new drive? If that's the case then download windows on the new drive and use the BIOS to make it the boot drive, then transfer all your files from the old drive to the new drive.

 

If he is just trying to use it as a supplemental drive then just plug and play, no need to mess around with the BIOS

@ArushM is right. On a side note don’t buy king spec ssds.

I'm kinda not understanding your question here.

1. Did you mean you already installed Windows on the NVME but cannot boot off it, or

2. you haven't installed Windows and it's not detected in BIOS, or

3. you haven't installed Windows on it and failed to boot off it

 

If you haven't installed Windows on it, then there is no way you will be able to boot from it.

Download Windows Installation Media, Make a bootable Windows install thumbdrive using it . https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

Take off all other drives from the motherboard, install new NVME on the motherboard, then install Windows on it using the bootable thumbdrive

After that's done, then you can put back all other drives.

There should be a ton of tutorial on how to make a Win install thumbdrive and how to install windows @ YT

 

Alternatively, you can clone your current Windows installation to the new NVME using cloning software

This will retain all files and settings (and whatever bugs and error too if there's any with your current installation) to a tee
