I dumped the bios of this mobo by SPI programmer.As you can see,the mobo had 2 bios chip so that there are 2 bios files.

I added the NVME module in it,but it still didn't show anything about NVME SSD in boot list after plugging in the NVME SSD. And the NVME SSD could be found in Win10 on this mobo.

This is my modded bios.

But it showed PATA and Windows boot manager in IS7XM mobo which was added NVME module.

@gloobox - You have to install windows onto the NVME, before you will see Windows Boot Manager in the boot option choice screen.

Wow, those looks like very bad BIOS dumps! Over 40-50+ errors just in UEFITool parser when opening the joined BIOS, this is without looking for any errors yet (ie not good at all), stock BIOS only has 4 normal expected errors vs this 40-50 = bad dump.
I suggest you dump again with other software version, hopefully you have not already erased or written to the chip. If you have already erased or written, hopefully it's bootable!

Please don't send PM's for help on BIOS edits, I can't help with BIOS in PM's. Please make a thread and I will try to help as soon as I can - thanks!
If you appreciate my efforts and are willing to donate to help improve my hardware, gift cards work for me (Amazn, NuEgg, eBa) - send me a PM
I view the forum like this, please bump your thread 1x every 24-48 hours if no reply

@Lost_N_BIOS
Thanks!
I had installed windows onto the NVME,and the NVME SSD was the same one on the IS7XM and the IH61MA mobo.
I had dumped it by the SPI programmer twice but nothing changed.
Yes,you are right.I had already erased and written, it's bootable but NO PATA or windows boot manager.
