I cannot get windows to recognise the ssd 
I can see it when I'm in the bios but when a boot from my Windows 7 disc there is no ssd there to install to can someone help me out here ive been at it for 3 hours and still no joy. I'm also using the Asus adapter incase that makes a difference

My first thought is an F6 driver required during Windows 7 booting. Had a quick look for Asus drivers but didn't see much probably because Windows 8.1/10 has native support.

Windows 7 does not have a nvme driver.

Maybe this will help. I just wimped out and bought a copy of Windows 10 and kept my 7 copy for my old machine.

Can I not just download a bootable windows 10 then use my Windows 7 key to activate it since windows 10 is free if you have windows 7?
Really don't want to go windows 10 yet
I tried that, but Microsoft won't let you just use your 7 key in fresh install of 10.
You have to go the upgrade path, so I would assume then the only way to get it on your sm951 would be to then clone it.
If you have only recently done a Win 10 download to create a Windows disc.. then it is quite possible Win 10 should accept a genuine Win 7 key to activate.
The rules are supposed to have changed since the release of a Rev: a few days ago.

Not complaining, I'm not going to get a chance to build today anyway. I just want to know if it's worth "working from home" while I wait for the delivery, or if I should get off my arse and out the door
Received my bundle last night. Was working late but managed to get it more or less built until I realised I didn't have any molex to fan adapters or even a splitter.
So ordering that today with the asus adapter for the SSD and a copy of windows 10.

Direct from Microsoft, follow the instructions

The same page also states that you can license the fresh install with a valid Win 7/8/8.1 key.
Hey,
Does that mean we can take the order statuses at face value? No lack of patience, just useful to know whether I should be home to receive a delivery or not.
Thanks!
Looks like I'll get mine tomorrow which has given me time to asses my case options. Turns out the HAF XB EVO case has a tray large enough to fit an E-ATX motherboard despite not being advertised.
Anyway if I'd not ordered based on the E-ATX compatibility in the manual I would have missed out on this great bundle so thanks for the opportunity.

Would like to know if this works for anyone, adding your windows 7 key into 10.
Tried this on Sunday with a fresh 10 install from USB stick. It would not activate with my old 7 key .Will save me some time next time I install instead of going 7 then 10 upgrade.
