It won't on my pc, because the update is botched. KB5014668 won't install (0x8000ffff).

I'm after a reason to bother upgrading my main gaming PC to Win 11. This could well be it.

If you have an AMD system like me, then you are forced to use the AMD RAID drivers (rc bottom device). Just change it to the Standard NVMe Controller driver and the drive will appear in the Computer Management. I also made this disk a dynamic disk, but that is optional. Just something helpful incase you go AMD.

Can you do this yet on Windows 11?

Becouse you need to have insider preview of w11.

Im curious if faster nvme pcie4 will make a difference or even slower pcie3 nvme are also "capable".

One can also opt into the Game Bar Preview via the Xbox Insider app to have it updated via the Microsoft Store (it may take a while for you to get approved).

Yes, looking towards the benchmarks

By October they better fix the annoying bug in 22h2 version where everything on windows 11 gets a dam checkbox to the left of any file, its super annoying, windows 11 thinks my desktop pc is a tablet, and they removed the option to disbale tablet mode, they really mess with the basics

I guess that someone can write some simply 3rd testing utility..

YOU MUST INSTALL XBOX INSIDER HUB, ALSO YOU MUST INSTALL XBOX GAME BAR INSIDER, JUST GO TO THE XBOX INSIDER HUB APP AND GIVE PARTICIPATION TO GAME BAR - SDK DEVELOPMENT AND THEN TO WINDOWS GAMING

I'm gonna bet that faster won't be noticeable.
Like at all.
2500 vs 7000 mbps won't be noticeable unless benchmarked to the millisecond.

What would be a good ssd that would support this feature?
MerolaC
For reference, my slowest NVME supports it.
An WD SN550 500GB

We'll see. MS said pcie3 nvme will be supported tho.
MerolaC
2 out of the 3 drivers I own are PCIe 3
So, yes, they are already supported!
