So I recently purchased a 970 Evo Plus NVMe m.2 drive for my computer, and since my motherboard doesn't have a m.2 slot on it I also purchased a PCIe adapter. Only after I found out that NVMe drives are not supported for booting on my board. Would it be possible to mod the bios in order to achieve this?
Bios can be found here: https://download.msi.com/bos_exe/mb/7816vA7.zip
Thanks!

@hygizzle - Here you go, flash via M-flash with BIOS on root of FAT32 USB, do not rename the file

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!

@Lost_N_BIOS Thanks for the BIOS, however, I updated with it, but I can't seem to find the m.2 disc in bios still. I'm seeing it in Windows but not in BIOS, do you know of anything I can do?

@hygizzle - Thanks for report back, sounds like BIOS flash was OK

You wont see in BIOS until you install windows, then you will see "Windows bootloader" or similar name. You need to follow all steps exactly at step #4 in the "This is what you should do" section of this guide

Z87-G43 GAMING support
latest bios version is A.7 (2015-05-22)

updated bios with nvme

Updating management engine firmware also recommended,
Intel (Converged Security) Management Engine: Drivers, Firmware and Tools

As rule of thumb,keep your OS,apps,bios and drivers updated
