Yes, it works on desktop.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You must have an an open M2 slot available on your MoBo. I have two of the Samsung 970 Plus M2s in RAID0 as my c drive for booting Win 10 release 1903. Wicked fast. Boots to the login GUI in less than 10 seconds. Lost an SATA connection for each chip.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Some recent motherboards have NVME M.2 sockets. If you have one of these then NVME M.2 devices such as the PNY XLR8 CS3030 can be installed right on the motherboard. In this case the BIOS should also know how to boot from an M.2 device. If you have an older system with no motherboard M.2 socket then you can get a PCIe adapter card. These are inexpensive, there are several models out there in the $10 .. $15 range. The card should have no electronics on it (except maybe a power filtering capacitor), just a couple traces from the PCIe connector to the M.2 socket. With these it is almost certain that your BIOS will not recognize the M.2 drive. So you can not boot from it. But it is still possible to use these as your system drive, but there will have to be a small boot partition on a drive your BIOS recognizes (i.e. a SATA drive). The Windows 10 installer should be able to figure this out.
