How to install Crucial P3 NVMe SSD and test it
974This is a video on the Crucial P3, showing you how to install the drive both in terms of hardware and the installation in Windows 10 or Windows 11.
The process for installing is really easy but may vary depending on your motherboard - some have heatsinks and different screw setups. It's also worth checking your manual as you may find that not all the drives work the same way.
