Help installing Plextor M8pe(y) pci-e nvme ssd on maximus formula vii

Okay so, after much searching I found these drivers (E. Lite-On NVMe Drivers (for Plextor SSDs)) http://www.win-raid.com/t29f25-Recommended-AHCI-RAID-and-NVMe-Drivers.html
After using device manager to manually update driver software to these drivers, I was able to access the drive in win10 and was able to write to it and run crystal disk mark (wow I'm impressed), I've yet to see if the driver remains with a restart however as it was replaced last time I restarted. It does make you wonder though, the official drivers from their support page with exactly my drive listed failed but these 'out of house' obtained drivers worked, no software included in the box either, its like plextor don't want me to use their shiny and obnoxious SSD.

*update*
Right, ignore that driver, that enables the NVMe drive in BIOS /MBR (Master boot record) mode which to the uninitiated (like myself when I was doing this) is the old standard and does not really support NVMe.

What you NEED to do in order to have this function correctly is a fresh install of windows in UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) mode and use GPT on the OS drive NOT MBR, yep. Go into BIOS, disable all of your CSM launch support and ensure that your OS type is set to 'Windows UEFI' not Other OS. Then reinstall Windows 10 using a UEFI compatible method, I used a USB stick with win10 created with the bootable media creation tool [you'll know if it's right because it should have UEFI in the label in BIOS) and voila, might be common knowledge to everyone but I'm not in the habit of leaving unanswered threads if I've solved them.

Also the official drivers from their support page immediately recognised (and updated) the drive after this as did my BIOS/UEFI.

Glossary (incase):
AHCI/RAID/IDE:
IDE is the old standard used for PATA drives, you'll have SATA drives so make sure you're using AHCI, RAID is a subset of AHCI set to work with 2 drives working in tandem to either increase performance (typically RAID 0), or backup data ( mostly RAID 1).
NVMe
Non-volatile memory express is a form of high speed storage, such as the plextor M8pe in question
SSD
Solid state drive, storage drive that uses flash memory instead of moving, mechanical components in order to increase speed and efficiency.
BIOS
Basic input/output system is a microprocessor that stores and controls some essential computer settings.
MBR
The Master Boot Record (MBR) is the information in the first sector of any hard disk or diskette that identifies how and where an operating system is located so that it can be boot (loaded) into the computer's main storage or random access memory.
UEFI
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware
GPT
GUID Partition Table is a standard for the layout of the partition table on a physical storage device used in a desktop or server PC, such as a hard disk drive or solid-state drive, using globally unique identifiers (GUID)
OS
Operating system (windows 10)
CSM
The Compatibility Support Module is a component of the UEFI firmware that provides legacy BIOS compatibility by emulating a BIOS environment, allowing legacy operating systems and some option ROMs that do not support UEFI to still be used
P.I.C.N.I.C
Acronym meaning 'problem in chair, not in computer', of which I am a perfect example.
