I have a Lenovo Carbon X1 that has a Samsung nVME SSD in it and it's 
fine with both FreeBSD12-STABLE and Windows (I have it set up for dual 
EFI boot using REFIND.)  It does not have a "custom" driver for Win10; 
it is using Microsoft's "built-in" stuff.

Zero problems and I beat on it pretty-heavily.
