    XPS 13, 9360. I want to upgrade from the stock SSD, (San Disk 128 GB), to a Samsung 960 Pro 512 GB.
    I have Windows 10 on a USB drive, along with all the latest drivers from Dell for this specific laptop, including the Intel Rapid Storage driver; and the Samsung driver for this SSD.
    When I boot off the USB it begins the install and then quickly prompts me for the missing driver: No signed device drivers were found. Make sure the installation media contains the correct drivers. . ." It does, but for some reason they aren't accessible during the install process.
    What am I doing wrong?

    What part, does it see the drive or is it after that, what driver if it gives any info?

    I figured it out. I hadn't remembered to switch the BIOS from RAID to ACHI. As soon as I did the install was fast and flawless. Thank you.
