    Can compatibility be verified? Do you have a link or screenshot or something of it?

    From where did you get the Nvidia drivers?
    Although they are more updated, they don't match the versions Dell has released and it is usually recommended to install the drivers the manufacturer provides due to possible altering of the drivers.
    Updated isn't always the solution FYI.
    Code:
    7: kd> lmvm nvlddmkm
    Browse full module list
    start             end                 module name
    fffff880`0f411000 fffff880`10055000   nvlddmkm T (no symbols)           
        Loaded symbol image file: nvlddmkm.sys
        Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\nvlddmkm.sys
        Image name: nvlddmkm.sys

    I was using the Nvidia updater program to get my driver. I will uninstall it and get the one Dell provides just to be safe. the SSD was installed and shows up as it should in the Device Manager. It appears as if it installed correctly, however i did have a bit of trouble getting it to work at first, i had to mess with my BIOS a little to keep it from BSOD on bootup.

    So had I when I installed my SSD, but I had also a bit of trouble when trying to upgrade to Windows 10 because somehow it resetted my boot order and there were some partitions on my HDD that let the BIOS think my HDD was still a boot device.

    Can it be confirmed that your SSD is compatible with your laptop? I can't find anything except for the specs.
