I got it to work.. but it only pulls up the "DUET" boot menu half the time.. and other times it simply doesn't.. and I have to reset. (which is annoying). What you're seeing here is the reFInd menu. On mine, many times, the reFind menu will show (like yours), but it will not see my drive. So again, I have to reset. I have an NVMe in a PCIe adapter and my motherboard can't boot to it alone. It doesn't even recognize the NVMe and just says "generic storage". If you look up "tianocore" boot manager in images, that is what DUET will show (half the time). For me, when this DUET boot menu shows up, it will then boot into reFind and THEN I can see my drive and boot in from there. I can also choose to just boot straight into my OS from the DUET boot screen, so I'm not sure why reFind even needs to be there. I'll probably dig up a different method, because again: this only works about half the time and I need to continually push 'reset' to force it to try again.... because it just gets stuck on a black screen with a blinking cursor. Reset a few times and then suddenly the DUET menu finally pops up. I don't know why it's unreliable. Maybe my USB stick damaged.. I'm not sure. (it's old). It's annoying enough that I need to go ahead with a different method. (btw, I have to put the boot priority to the USB for it to work at all-- and for mine, it shows two options. a "usb drive" and also a "UEFI-USB drive"-- in priorities; the UEFI option doesn't work). Also in my PCIe section, there is an option for "legacy vs EFI" as a "boot preference" -- mine is in legacy. If I select EFI, it just bricks my PC and goes black and I have to reset cMos just to get it back. (luckily I figured that out). I'm not sure if it goes black because of gtx1060 drivers? or if there's another reason. But I cant select EFI mode at all.. so that makes it more annoying, since it might help boot from NVME. I've been on this for days. thanks for the videos-- I at least partially have it working.

Everything seemed to work up until the final 'install" list came to "finish up" and then it says it needs to restart to finish-- and it never picks back up where it left off. Since I have to go through duet, it just starts the install all over. I clicked on "continue" in the troubleshooting and it says it's missing Windows\system32\winload.efi and needs repaired. but when I try to repair it, it just crashes and auto restarts. I feel like this would work if I already had it installed on the drive. But I can't get windows to just carry on with the install and not want to restart. smh.. What a mess. :) ....... Am I supposed to load a driver or something? It's a ta970 biostar board, amd 8320 cpu, gtx1060 graphics card. My nvme is installed into a PCIe adapter. I'm so close.. I just need to get that last finish on the install.

1 major problem. Yes rEFInd is a Boot manager and will allow you to install to an NVME on older equipment like my HP Notebook. What you fail to show is an install up to the first reboot. I have been installing, wiping, reinstalling for over a month trying to escape the install loop. As Windows finishes it's initial install a required reboot happens, this is where I am locked. Both Duet with rEFInd and Refind installed via Pop OS. I have a video of this issue on my channel initial install is on the NVME SSD, to select the Windows Icon as Boot only leads to a Recovery error not second stage install. It is the exact same with rEFInd on Thumb Drive. It would be nice to see a full install and getting past the reboot!!!!!!!

In fist part there is a comment after you choose NVME : cannot instal on this drive, becouse it is not booteble! And so i have the same problem! Win 10 see nvme disc , but can't be installed on it (

not clearity

Doesn't work for me on X58, top right corner says "BStartart!" then goes to memory checking and hangs there.

awesome video, I'm planning on buying a hp z820 and using it, I'm little concert whether this method would work fine if I'm planning on installing linux on it, do you havy any thoughts about this, i really appreciate your help 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Help please! I have the same motherboard. I followed the instractions, but it doesn't work. :( When I boot from the flash drive it just says:"An operating system wasn't found. Try disconnecting any drivers that don't conrain an operating system." . Maybe the problem is when I try to "CreateUSB (DiskLetter): FORMAT" or "CreateUSB (DiskLetter): CLEAN" it says: WARNING!! BE SURE THE RIGHT VOLUME IS SELECTED. SELECTED DRIVE IS = R: ARE YOU SURE TO CONTINUE? The next command will CLEAN the selected DISK! Setting Diskpart parameter... TXT COMMAND is avaiable in CleanCommandInput.txt (DO NOT MODIFY) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Отсутствуют экземпляры.(Examples not found) WARNING !! The selected device is NOT removable !! Or WARNING !! Multiple instance of removable device found !! So I had to skip these steps. Can you please help if you know what's the deal? I can still return SSD to the store, but I really want to have faster system man :( (Even if you don't know how to/don't want to help tell me please if buying SATA SSD worth it)

How may i copy the DUET boot sector file to a usb key with windows 3rd party apps such as Rufus,or winsetupfromusb??

i have problem copying boot files from DUET emulator to usb drive with the Duet usb app in windows;anyone else have this issue and fixed it...lmk!

Thank you. :)

using this comment as my notepad. to-do :- 1.) mbr2gpt to convert existing mbr to gpt 2.) Before that, create duet with refind onto old 2gb usb. 3.) Try booting this Will it work? Only one way to find out. and rip 2gb pendrive. Looks like i need this "goober" or "secure key" to boot into my laptop lol Edit:- it worked like a charm I managed to find duet 2019 in a hp support site, unlike 2015 as shown in this video. It worked totally fine. Cheers and thank you

it's working for me, but how I can edit the menu boot when I have an other win10 on the other HDD ?

How can I get windows 10 to run on the x58 motherboard? With a normal ssd

Do you need to put the usb each time? Or wil it install with win10 together?

Hi. Many thanks for the tutorial. Managed to install windows 10 on SSD on a old computer. But after installation I am unable to boot windows from duet/refind loader. But I can boot windows thorugh clover. I dont like Clover because it loads windows in low resolution. Any tips why I cant load windows through duet/refined.

Hi, ive successfully booted my z600 with usb. I was think of moving it too sata m.2 ssd , but I can't find much resources on this topic. And also , in any case of usb failed to boot, how do I make an additional backup(usb/hdd)

@rgray318 I could not get .dxe file? Did not work. Dxe.efi The system cannot find the file specified". Also, when booting the USB I get BRESTART, stuck on SYSTEM MEMORY TEST OK. What to do?

can i use that method to boot windows 7 installation on gpt drive under older system with bios?

Will the duet USB drive always need to be connected?

Hello brother, does support for my motherboard ASUS H61M-C

Does the bios have to be modified or do you just boot to the USB for the boot loader to work with nvme SSD?

How hard isd it? I wanna try it on my p6t se board from asus its x58 but im afraid its too time consuming and i might get stuck what do you advise???

It doesn't seem to work anymore. After installing Windows 10 to the nvme drive, rebooting into DUET sees no operating system.

Proud X58 user here! Would this work on an msi x58 platinum sli?

I tried this with a 64GB sandisk ultrafit usb flash drive and got this error - Errore del servizio Dischi virtuali: Dimensione del volume troppo grande. I think the disk is too big. Is there a way to get this to work with a bigger usb drive, so that I have some bonus (movable) storage there as well? :-/ I do not own any 4GB drives, and don't want some big old 4GB thing protruding far out from the computer...

Which Samsung SSD Model did you use?

thanks alot be trying it out when my m.2 PCIE NVME + PCIE m.2 card arrive *will keep you posted MOBO: GIGABYTE X58A-UD3R rev.2 NVME: Corsair MP510 960GB (PCIE 3.0 X4) *yeah i know i am having only PCIE2.0*

team X58 assemble !

i am watching this on my Gigabyte X58 UD3R, wanted to do the same through DUET too

shoot your .... dog, it drives me crazy.

hey great to see but what is the procedure to boot from it? bios are recognize it as sata or ?!@? just curios thanks

good job! The dog turned me crazy!

Wow that is heavy! Keep safe!:)

is it ok if I run the app manually without using command prompt?

Dos the Deut ub need to stay plugged in to boot the nvme pcie card?

Lol, that don't work - when i'm select my flash drive with installed Win10 in DUET REFINED, windows logo is loading and all stops - circle progress bar don't shown. I decided to wait 20 minutes, but nothing has changed. How to fix that?

Very good ! Very Nice!

I did all the steps from the 1st and this video upon restart after the Win10 install there are no bootible file systems found. Using duet udk2019

I followed your steps and Windows installation sees the nvme in the list of drives to install on so I select that one. At some stage the installation says it needs to reboot to continue but then it starts from the windows USB stick again. If I removed the stick it boots into duet but it doesn't continue at the point where it restarted, just boots into duet but no windows logo is shown, no logos are shown.. What am I missing here?

I'm having trouble with booting into duet. I have a MSI X58 Big Bang Xpower and I'm using an Inland Premiun 256GB Nvme SSD. It'll start to boot into duet then it black screens and restarts.

I also have asrock extreme x58 What bios parameters did you use? could you do a mini tutorial please Thank you

Finally a sane video tutorial on the topic. Thank You for that and even more for the valuable info about Samsung 950 Pro NVMe. I went to Samsung site and there is no mention of that feature?

Thank you man, it's only one way that I can realize for running NVMe SSD at my Asus z8na motherboard. The system working much faster!

Hello dear colleague, I would like to know about the automatic script you used. Who created it yourself? I see that it is booting from the shell, I can also boot from the shell using manual commands, but I would like to know if you can pass the automated script because I am having difficulties even using Duet Driver boot I can only boot by placing manual commands : fs0: load nvm.efi map -r bootx64
