Hi, I created a full system image on to a sata ssd, installed the 970evo Nvme drive onto the board , i have installed both MS hotfixes for win7 that add native support for NVME, and the samsung nvme driver my o/s is installed using legacy bios (MBR) and i'm aware that nvme drives only boot using uefi
So installed Win 10 ADK and it's PE addon, and used the Acronis TI MPV builder tool to build a Bootable USB recovery image with drivers Intel RST and the Samsung Nvme to that win PE based image on to a usb flash drive to enable me to recover the os image to the nvme ssd , By booting the usb flash drive in eufi mode will allow recovery on to the new nvme, and convert the MBR to eufi
My problem is i'm stuck with the bios settings needed, here is what i was told i should to to enable this, problem is that those directions don't appear to be correct
as one step the required option isn't present in that menu?
I have tried several different settings but the USB will not fully load the Acronis recovery GUI it stops at the Wellcome initial MVP screen, in the last attempt i set CSM to disabled and lost video ouput And had to clear the cmos to see the bios again to restore my original boot settings
In your bios in Advanced Setup. Click the Advanced tab then, PCH Storage Configuration
Verify SATA controller is set to - Enabled
Set SATA Mode to - RAID
Go back one screen then, select Onboard Device Configuration.
Set SATA Mode Configuration to - SATA Express
Go back one screen. Click on the Boot tab then, scroll down the page to CSM. Click on it to go to next screen.
Set Launch CSM to - Disabled
Set Boot Device Control to - UEFI only
Boot from Network devices can be anything.
Set Boot from Storage Devices to - UEFI only
Set Boot from PCI-E PCI Expansion Devices to - UEFI only
Go back one screen. Click on Secure Boot to go to next screen.
Set Secure Boot state to - Disabled
Set OS Type to - Windows UEFI mode
Go back one screen. Look for Boot Option Priorities - Boot Option 1. Click on the down arrow in the outlined box to the right and look for your flash drive. It should be preceded by UEFI, (example UEFI Sandisk Cruzer). Select it so that it appears in this box.
If i try and follow the above i get to the part in bigger type , no such option exists in that menu
Does anyone know how i should set up the bios to allow me to do what i'm trying to do?
Motherboard Is ASUS MAXIMUS HERO VIII btw
