I cheated and took out my samsung drives when I was benchmarking them in the new Rampage 6 Extreme. No issues upgrading LOL. I'll see hot it goes for a full, fresh install instead of an update on a Samsung pro 960.
There doesn't seem to be an issue with a clean install. Some have even reported using an install USB and doing a repair install/leave file and folders.
Im too far into it with a full day getting software and drivers installed, dont feel like doing it all again if I dont have to.
I had the update fail on my IX Apex, updating from a USB worked fine here

I did the Fall Creators Update vers 1709 a few days ago with no problems, and with Samsung 960 Pro NVMe and Samsung 850 Pro SSD, both on a R5E. Might be the x299, or maybe other software people have installed causing problems with the update. The FCU 1709 did force me to re-create my backup tasks in Acronis True Image. Something to do with the fact that FCU 1709 creates new GUID identifiers for disk partitions, not just boot/system partitions but simple data partitions too. FCU 1709 also created a new larger Windows Recovery Partition.
Great, please post those results in the X99 section to keep the confusion down.
This is specific to X299 chipsets by all manufacturers and NVMe drives. Works fine on SATA SSDs
The list at M$ is growing...........

Id doubt they do back flips over making it right with this market share is its so small.

So basically if you have an X299 MOB and a Samsung SSD with a SATA drive you are basically screwed by Microsoft. Either do a clean install and start over, or no upgrade to FCU. Does anyone think Microsoft will ever release a fix for this ? They will have countless complaints once they start massively sending out this upgrade. Does anyone think there will ever be a fix ?
Yes, No, Maybe???
Think is x299 is a TINY part of the market share. They will be working on bigger issues that effect more people first.
You can get it over through cloning but in all honesty hind sight being 20/20 I wish I had just done a clean install. Would have been easier and less time consuming. Even people on other platforms are having issues of having to systematically go through and uninstall, clean registry then reinstall apps. Like I said, if you have to go through all that its easier just to save your files then start all over fresh.
