fresh windows 10 on M.2 NVMe

[smokeyvandenberg]

hey guys!

 

i seem to be running into so issues installing windows on my new Samsung evo 970 m.2 nvme.

 

i opend my pc and removed the old transcend SATA m.2 and installed the new Samsung nvme m.2, unplugged all other harddrives from the MB and poped in my bootable USB with win 10 pro.

all goes well until u need to format the m.2 sothat windows can install, i keep getting a 0x80004005 error.

 

i did some searching and its said that a windows file is missing.... even though i have used the usb multiple times before. so i search for a guide on a fresh windows install on a m.2 and found that there are some things i need to change in the bios. these are what i changed (MB is an MSI z170a Tomahawk)

- settings/ advanced/ integrated peripherals/ SATA Mode i chanded from Raid (as i dont want to run a raid setup) to AHCI as per the guide.

- settings/ advanced/ windows OS Configuration, here i disabled fast boot and both support for win 10 and win 7 installation as the guid said to use "Other OS" and i dont have that option. now before we go any further i tried enabling win 10 in wich case i cant get past the bios to try and install windows how ever is i enable win 7 i can get windows to load but get stuck at that error.

 

please see image below any advice is appreciated.
