Challenge of fitting windows onto M.2 drives
Challenge of fitting windows onto M.2 drives
Here’s a revised version of your instructions:
1. Ensure all SATA and USB devices are disconnected; only the M.2 drive should be installed.
2. Navigate to the BIOS settings and locate the CSM option, ensuring it remains disabled.
3. Select the secure boot setting below and confirm it points to a different operating system—avoid Windows UEFI.
4. Open key management and remove any existing secure boot credentials.
5. Use a USB drive containing a bootable Windows 10 ISO with UEFI support.
6. Press F10 to save changes, exit the menu, and restart the computer.
7. Installation will begin automatically, utilizing the built-in NVME driver for your drive.
8. Upon rebooting, press F2 during startup to access BIOS and adjust boot priority so Windows boots from your NVME device.
9. Revisit secure boot settings and set it to UEFI mode.
10. In key management, install the default secure boot keys.
11. Press F10 again to finalize the installation and close the process.
Once completed, power off the PC and reconnect any remaining SATA drives.
