Hello everyone. I have a existing Windows installation and I want to convert the main storage driver from Standard NVM Express Controller to Intel IRST but I dont want to reinstall Windows. Anyone help me?

Spec (necessary only) :

Intel i5-12400F

Gigabyte B760M D DDR4

It is very easy:

  1. Let the Control Panel create a backup of your current drive C: (to be able to recover it in case of a failure).
  2. Run the Device Manager and expand the “Storage Controller” section.
  3. Right-click onto the listed “Standard NVM Express Controller” and choose the options “Update driver” > “Browse my Computer…” > “Let me pick…”.
  4. Press the “Have Disk” button and navigate to the desired non-MS NVMe driver (make sure, that the related *.INF file supports your currently in-use OS and any NVMe Controller).
  5. Disregard the warning you will get and continue the driver installation.
  6. Reboot once the installation has been finished.

Good luck!
