Hey everyone,
I just bought an Asus GL753VD-GC009 Notebook without an M.2 SSD because I wanted to install a faster one myself. The handbook and vendor both said, that this model supports NVMe (and someone mentioned having a NVMe SDD installed in another thread), so I ordered an Samsung 960 Evo M.2 NVMe SSD with 250GB capacity. The installation itself was quite easy since the handbook has an installation guide which even points out where to find a hidden screw for the cover. There is a correct M.2 key M slot for the 960 Evo, so I plugged it in and secured it with a screw.
The problem is that the SSD does not get recognized by the system, neither in the BIOS nor during the Windows 10 installation.
What I tried so far is:
-updating the BIOS to the newest version (302)
-disabling secure boot and fast boot
-loading the pure Samsung drivers from here
http://www.win-raid.com/t29f25-Recommended-AHCI-RAID-and-NVMe-Drivers.htmlduring the Windows installation in the partitioning step. But they are not shown if one sets the checkmark for only displaying drivers that are compatible and installing them has no effect
-booting Windows and installing the Samsung NVMe drivers, which fails because it says that no NVMe device was detected. In Windows 10 the SSD does not show up in the device manager or Windows explorer either
Since some people seem to have similar problems with the GL752 models I hope someone here might know what to do.
Here is a HWINFO report with my system information:
