Surface 8 Pro - new SSD - compatibility with PCIe 4

Anonymous

Hello,

is the Surface 8 Pro compatible with PCIe 4 drives or can I only use PCIe 3 ssd?

If not all drives are compatible, which drives work?

Best regards,

Peter

Yep, everything was up to date when cloning. That unfortunately didnt do anything. I then tried using a recovery drive and starting from scratch. This kinda worked until I got to the Windows screen where you choose your language. It then started crashing again and ended in a startup loop :(.

I've just ordered a second drive and I'm going to try again.

Please, did you apply all update from Windows Update, even the not necessary? And specifically the firmware update of your SP8 ?

Before you cloned your disk, did you deactivate the encryption of the drive ?
