So I have looked at countless youtube tutorials, the official intel one on the support site, and called MSI support too. I already have the optane 16gb memory in my desktop motherboard (MSI-A H270 Pro). I got to do the setup of the optane memory, and I rebooted the computer through the installer. When windows [10] started back up, it gave the same "additional settings are being installed" with a big optane memory logo before it booted up, just like I see on everyone's videos. Then, when I sign into windows, I get the other "additional installation is required" and asks yes or no to proceed. I click yes, then it forms the optane UI executable where the final step is, to enable the optane memory, but when I click it, windows asks if its ok to use hard drive space, I click yes......and nothing happens. I can keep repeating this, keep clicking yes to allow to use hard drive space, but nothing happens.
I called technical support for optane memory and I've been on hold for 39 minutes before my phone ran out of battery.

Yes, my BIOS is updated to the newest version. The top file named "Intel info" is the one on the 4th request.

Hello Santikis,
Based on the screenshot, it should work fine, but since there is no error message on it, we suggest to you to try the following:
-Delete the Windows C: partition only and reinstall the operating system.
-Once the operating system is installed, please try the SetupOptaneMemory.exe again.
-Please provide screenshots in case of failure again.
We'll be waiting for your response.
Regards,
Nestor C
