Hi just to clarify a little more;
at the time I was restlessly searching for answers, so besides the asrock forum post I mentioned, I also found reddit post that helped me with NVMe drivers
https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/3rvoop/samsung_950_pro_nvme_ssd_windows_7_64/
is it strange to download those drivers? It worked, win 7 recognized the driver to install.. it even mentions in the method 1 option in asrock forum post, it just doesn't tell you where the drivers can be found, so I downloaded from the reddit post, where someone posted the links to it.
there is actually a taskbar notification now that I just realized at windows 10 'nvme devices eject' it treats the m.2 as a device connected like an external hard drive or usb stick?
It is strange, maybe for the sake of the installation I ended up loading the wrong drivers for it!
I have Samsung Pro 950 m.2 also just once more that in UEFI now (2.30 version) it is listed as ultra m.2 'not detected' how can it be since it has windows 10 and I am starting the computer fine?
I am going to read up again more of the posts, you have to understand, this was my first ever built so I am actually glad that I am at this point in a week, I thought I was going to have much more difficulty
So I haven't added my additional actual 2.5 ssd drives yet, I have to change few thing back to normal on UEFI (I mentioned before I disabled SATA)
I am thinking to make a restore point and a image backup before I started messing things up again! :)
