Hello Community,
I've bought a samsung M2 vnand 970 evo plus 500GB SSD and mounted it in place of the 128 GB M2 SSD.
Now i want to install windows on it, but the setup can`t find the device. Also i can`t see the device with diskpart disk list.
BIOS Version: F.89
Secure Boot: disabled
I really don`t know what else i can do.
best regards Leon.

The series supports M.2 SATA-3 (NGFF) with the following pre-installed options:
● SSD, 256GB, 2280, M.2, SATA-3, TLC
● SSD, 128GB, 2280, M.2, SATA-3, TLC
● SSD, 128GB, 2280, M.2, SATA-3, Value DRAM-less
samsung M2 vnand 970 evo plus is a NVMe drive therefore machine can't see it. Please return and swap for 860 EVO drive.
