M.2 NVMe Drive Install 970 EVO Acer Nitro 5

well, after watch ur nice video, i bought recently samsung 970 PRO 512GB nvme ssd. Well it doesnt work, i have acer nitro 5 515-51-786L. After installing the new disk, i see in bios the correct information of my samsung, then install win10pro with usb stick with uefi mode, i can install it. when finished with install, it doesnt boot into windows 10 but i get a error message instead: no bootable device.

i went to acer community and posted my problem with more details. https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/586814/is-m-2-nvme-ssd-supported-for-my-acer-nitro-5-515-51-786l?breakffcache=adfa5

Hope u have a idea to fix this, should help me greatly cuz hopefully it was not a 150 euros of joke 🙂

Hola saludos desde Colombia, podrías dejarme el link de compra del modulo memoria RAM que utilizaste para ampliar la memoria, y si sabes donde puedo comprar la funda. Muchas gracias.

Hi. Can u tell me why i can intall nvme driver and it keep saying that NVM Express Device is not connected?

My NVMe M.2 SSD doesn't show up as a windows boot manager nor does it ever appear in bios booting settings(shows up in bios information, even after Windows is installed.), however I am able to boot to Windows since windows makes me choose where to boot Windows 10 and NVMe M.2 SSD volume is one of the options.

NVMe M.2 SSD is Patriot Scorch 256 gb. Hoping for a reply thanks!

there are several Nitro 5 models and nvme support differs.
AN515-51, AN515-52 and AN515-53 (Intel) NVMe PCIe or SATA
AN515-41 and AN515-42 (AMD) SATA only
AN515-43 (AMD) slot1 NVMe PCIe
and slot 2 SATA only
AN515-54 (Intel) Dual NVMe support.

If you're in doubt about specific model better to search in internet or ask in acer community like below

I sent my laptop to an authorized service center to
install a nvme m.2 1tb on my acer nitro 5 an515-52 . The model of the drive is
XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro 1tb PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 2280 from ADATA.  The problem is they told that the  nvme was faulty because it was undetected in
Windows. They told me it was rare to happen. I asked him if he had tested it in
any other devices and he said he didn´t. So I took my drive to a pc components
store to test it on other devices and it appears my drive Works just fine.

So I don´t know if the guy working on the authorized center
couldn´t manage to installed it properly, or if there is no compatibility with
my laptop. The Pc components store said to me that maybe I should change my
drive for another with lower capacity because sometimes 1tb can´t be handled in
acer nitro 5.

Hi, Sorry if you said this in the video and i missed it, but i have the Version with the 1TB HDD, would it be possible to just install the NVMe SSD and clone the HDD to the SSD and then change the boot order? Thanks alot 🙂

Hi , I got acer nitro 5 too, an515-52. This laptop cames with hdd 1 tera, and the OS was already installed in it , then I bought an MS30 SSD. I got this problem that I have already installed my OS in my SSD , but everytime I open my laptop on bios , My SSD and HDD have a different windows its like everytime I login from them , it got 2 different passwords/accounts. Help?

So i just installed a 970 EVO, transfered all data (200gb) to the m.2 SSD (500gb) with Samsung data Migration. Now can the system Run, when i remove the HDD, without setting boot options? And will it boot from it by itself? I also have 1tb firecuda sshd, which i want to install. Can i just replace it for the HDD or will it start trying to boot from it? Or will it switch to booting from m.2 when it detects, that the new sshd ist empty? Sadly i dont know the BIOS pw to change Boot Options. thats why i ask all these questions. Btw.. can i remove bios pw?

hi there my nitro 5 is a sata if i put a Silicon Power PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD 1TB Gen3x4 R/W up to 3, 200/3, 000MB/s internal SSD do i have to remove the sata drive thanks
