Thanks, JustClaws - yep it is definitely the mods & I have been looking at the forums for hints from others having issues - was just hoping a VCS user might already have some experience with what PC Mode can handle (already installed max RAM) and a solid, stable mod load so I could avoid individually trouble shooting them, which is what I spent a lot of the wknd trying to do...

Hey Folks - I was looking forward to playing Oblivion (Steam GOTY) in PC Mode and even adding some mods to it, but when I have tried loading them via Wrye Bash even the most vanilla ones (e.g., Unofficial Patch for the game & DLCs) it is still crashing (Windows msg "Oblivion has stopped working") whenever I tried to load the game. It will run on a clean, unmodded install. I was really looking forward to experimenting with the great work the Nexus community has done on this old warwagon, especially Knights of the Nine related, but not sure what to do next or what others have found the VCS can handle, thanks.

Ah, thanks Rick. I also could not get the VCS to recognize Win10 on the USB drive. So my plan now then is to also get an SSD (looking at SanDisk Extreme Pro), install Win10 on it and hopefully be able to use it as a bootable drive for the VCS to play Steam and GOG games, and las you did use the M.2 for Atari storage.

Rick - maybe you could post some offline instructions how you got your M.2 formatted and now running Steam? Having the same issues - trying to install Windows to my installed 1TB M.2 but getting the Windows installation error that the drive is not NTFS. I went into Atari Storage menu and formatted it, but still stuck.
