Windows is able to recognize the NVME SSD after installing driver, even if the BIOS cannot boot from it.

My current System(s):
Laptop: CLEVO P655SA, CPU: Intel Core i7-4720HQ, Disk Drives: Crucial MX200 250GB SSD + HGST 1TB 7200RPM, RAM: Kingston DDR3L 1600MHz 8GB*2, Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX965M 2GB, OS: Win10 Education x64 + Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS x64 + macOS High Sierra 10.13
Desktop: MB: GIGABYTE GA-Z77-DS3H, CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K, Disk Drives: Plextor M5S 128GB SSD + Western Digital 1TB 7200RPM, RAM: Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600MHz 4GB*2 at 1866MHz, Graphics: AMD Radeon R9 390 8GB, OS: Win10 Pro x64

Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!

Ferrous's answer is correct.
The BIOSes of older mainboards are able to detect an NVMe SSD (otherwise the Windows Disk Management wouldn't show it as connected Disk Drive). Although the name of ithe NVMe SSD is not visible within such BIOSes, it is possible to boot off the NVMe SSD, if the related LEGACY/UEFI mode pre-conditions are fulfilled (LEGACY mode: NVMe Option ROM present within the SSD Controller chip, UEFI mode: matching NVMe EFI module present within the mainboard BIOS).

The fact, that the BIOSes of all older mainboards (up to Intel 9-Series Chipset ones) do not show the NVMe SSD, is not a problem, because they support them nevertheless (provided, that the required NVMe EFI module has been added to the BIOS).
The main reason why the NVMe SSDs are not listed within the BIOS as bootable drives is, that there are no LEGACY mode Option ROM modules available for the big ajority of the NVMe SSDs.

@norris99:
AFAIK the Samsung 950 Pro SSD has an in-box NVMe Option ROM. So you should be able to install Win10 onto the SSD in Legacy mode (using the MBR boot sector) without any problem.

If it was wrong, what you had written within your previous post, you should correct your mistake.
What sort of support do you expect here? If ASUS doesn't help you, the BIOS modification should be done by yourself. >Here< is the related guide.

Since the ASUS GL752VW has an Intel HM170 Chipset, its original BIOS should natively support booting off NVMe SSDs. If I am right, no BIOS modding is necessary.
