Interoperability issues getting the NVMe drive to be bootable under windows:
- Asus Z170-k with Intel Z170 chipset
- SSD 950 PRO NVMe SSD
Assembled new machine, started install off Windows 10 64 bit Pro OEM
- On first reboot (first boot directly off target system drive, i.e. above SSD) PC seems to sit in POST somewhere, response to F2/F8 eventually comes up after some minutes…
Did some googling, seems we need settings for CSM ( Compatibility Storage Module) set to UEFI:
- BIOS (Oops, UEFI) -> Advanced->BOOT->CSM (Compatibility Support Module) changed to disabled, I assume this will force GPT to be used instead of MBR
All good now
