kittbuilder: Thank you for purchasing the 970 EVO NVMe SSD. Installation of Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs is essentially plug-and-play. Simply insert the NVMe SSD in an M.2 PCIe slot, tighten the SSD in place with the screw and spacer provided by your mainboard manufacturer, and boot up your system from an external source before proceeding with a fresh install of your operating system. Windows has an in-box driver that ensures your Samsung NVMe SSD is operational from the start, but we recommend installing the Samsung NVMe Driver specifically designed for Samsung NVMe SSDs, to ensure optimal performance and to maximize compatibility with your system. Downloadable documentation on installation and the most recent drivers can be found at (Download Files): https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/970evo/ If you should need further assistance with installation, please contact Samsung Customer Support.
