Hey guys, I need you're help...

I have a b450m ds3h Rev 1 board. I've been running win 10 from a Kingston SSD. However I recently purchased a M.2 NVME 1TB WD Blue SN550, but I'm having insane problems with it.

I connected it & booted into windows like normal. Windows doesn't detect it, nor does disk manager. I went into bios & it does detect it & even the self test setting within the NVME settings passes. So all as it should be.

Now, If I boot to USB to start to install windows, the NVME drive shows up. I installed windows to the NVME drive & it boots into windows like normal & all the other sata drives are also shown up. However, if I then boot windows on my kingston SATA drive, the NVME drive disappears.

Both drives are both GPT. I have tried using my pro Paragon partition manager suit & migrate windows which has always worked before onto the NVME when I installed it on the NVME drive after booting into the windows on that drive. However, I get the windows logo but then nothing more, just a constant boot loop.

I really do not want to have to start again with a fresh windows... So I need help why I cant get my NVME drive to detect within windows when I've booted into my kingston SSD drive or why if I migrate my windows from my Kingston SSD drive to the NVME it gives me a boot loop.

I've looked on the website & manual & I can't find or maybe I just don't understand the info, to know if my M.2 drive when in use, disables any of my SATA ports or anything. But they all work if I boot into my NVME on a fresh windows install, so I'm at a loss. Also my firmware is the latest for the board.

Thanks in advance
 
The first thing to try now that you have copied all the data from ssd to nvme is run the windows install again and click on repair
You know, the boot USB driver I use to install windows 10 with, never entered my mind to use to repair my install... ty
