[QUOTE="plat, post: 974012, member: 74969"] Well, it turns out my Samsung 980 Pro MVM-e was more corrupted than originally thought--I'd rolled back to Windows 10 a while back as 1 GB of disk space was disappearing daily over a week's time and I couldn't find any of it. Then, earlier tonight, Windows 11 wouldn't install, not via the desktop nor with USB. It would restart as if to install but the next thing you know, it's back on the Windows 10 desktop without any error message or anything. After trying repeatedly, I finally installed my backup drive--a 970 EVO Plus (250 GB), Windows 11 popped up in Updates immediately and it went thru fine. I think a partition was corrupted but you'd think trying to reformat with the USB would work. It did not. I will have to discard my 980 Pro--it's no use to try to reformat or anything; it will never be trustworthy. It had 3 firmware revisions--maybe that contributed, I don't know. Think I'll get the 980 (non pro) @ 500 GB. This 970 EVO is great but it's a little small. [/QUOTE]
