Intel 750 Cannot replace Windows 10 driver

Recently installed Intel 750 400GB NVME PCI-E drive as boot drive on new ASUS Z170 motherboard.

All went well. No install or boot problems. But Win10 will not let me update the MS Driver with the latest Intel one. "Best driver is already installed".

How can I force the driver replacement? My AS SSD Seq scores are roughly 1500 MB/Sec, which is lower than other posts I have seen.

Or am I looking at the wrong entry in the Device manager?

Thanks - Norvil

Just reread everything again and if I'm understanding right, you haven't actually gotten the Intel driver to install yet. That could very well also be the cause. I've seen benchmarks with and without the driver that make a huge difference (like 200%).

Note when I installed the latest version, it took a couple of tries and reboots to get it to install properly (I had a previous version of the Intel driver installed), so don't panic if it doesn't work the first time, just reboot and retry. Also you'll probably have better luck if you deactivate any antivirus program running.
