Hello Mike and welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
Although I haven’t yet heard about your described NVMe driver problem, it should be easy to solve it.
My advice:
Integrate the “pure generic 32bit Phison NVMe driver v1.5.0.0 WHQL for Win8-10 x86” into the boot.wim and install.wim of the Win10 x86 Image. You can find the download link within the start post of >this< thread.
By the way:
- Only WHQL certified storage driver are accepted by the Win10 Setup’s Device Management. That is why it wouldn’t make any sense to integrate a modded and digitally signed Samsung NVMe driver. It will not be used by the OS during the Setup.
- The latest original Samsung NVMe driver v3.3.0.2003 cannot be used for Samsung’s latest NVMe SSDs from scratch (because the driver is older and the HardwareIDs of the newer 980/990 SSD’s NVMe Controllers are missing), but it definitively supports them and works fine (I have tested it very often with my Samsung 980 Pro and 990 Pro SSDs). The trick: You have to force the installation by using the “Have Disk” option. After the reboot the driver will be shown within the Device Manager as WHQL certified and properly working. Another advantage: Samsung’s tool named Magician works fine with this driver as well.
Good luck!
