This concerns Samsung 980 pro which has issues but there are currently local discounts. So I wanted to buy it and install the latest firmware update asap. To do this I need to install windows with samsung magician. I don't have a machine with several pcie slots. So I was wondering if the only choice then, is to install windows on the drive itself to do the update? My main concern is whether the writes from the os installation can do some damage on the drive before I had the chance to update it?

I use linux normally and could boot from usb drive to update it, but alias there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do it for Samsung drives.
