Did you restart after seeing that?

I did restart without the usb since it was bringing me to the windows 10 setup again like in the image

This just shows that your NVM is still raw, block device, no MBR recognition. Your MSI UEFI is not able to see it, not supported by the bios too, and unable to format it. Just boot winows from that stick, and intall Samsung Macigian to format the disk in a format that the UEFI understands, check bios updated if they support more now then on release.

 

What is the job this NVM needs to do on this system, guess it's unable to boot from it on a 'Standard' windows install, does the windows installer sees the NVM at all, BLK? able to format it, MBR?  You need a boot manager or alternative windows installer? What PCI adapter u use?

My 960 evo nvme needs to be primary windows boot, the windows usb setup does see the nvme correctly but my motherboard says pci slot is occupied named unknown device running at X4, my adapter is silverstone ecm20.

Instead of using Duet, mod your BIOS (insert nvm dxe depository), or ask someone to do it for you.

Here is a guide for you : LINK.

it says probably valid for all systems with an intel 6-/7-/8-/9-series or x79 chipset, my cpu is i5-4670K so even bios flashing is out of the question?
