NVME driver for Adata XPG SX8200 pro
I purchased an Adata XPG SX8200 pro 1tb m.2 ssd. After install into the m.2 slot the drive is listed in the BIOS as an NVME drive but in Windows 7 it shows in device manager as a "PCI device" and has the "!" next to it. Under properties it shows that Windows cannot find a driver for this hardware. Of course the Adata website is no help.
My existing boot drive is an nvme Intel 750 series ssd in a pcie slot. Therefore, I already have Windows 7 working fine on a nvme drive which means I had modified W7 2 years ago to get the Intel 750 to work. Since my Asrock Z270m pro 4 motherboard supports nvme drives and I already have one such drive working, I thought the new drive would work under W7.
I've searched for a generic Microsoft nvme driver with no success. Also, the new drive supports the newest NVME 1.3 verson while the Intel is a NVME 1.0 version drive. Any thoughts to try before I return this new drive as being incompatible? Thanks in advance!
