Hi,

Would it be possible to ask for help for a modded Bios to enable nvme port even if nothing is connected during boot-up. Im currently testing this for EGPU setup.

#2 | RE: [Reques] Lenovo P50 - Modded bios to enable nvme 2 on boot up for EGPU Setup datum

@silenhunter03 - NVME boot has nothing to do with ME or ME FW, so not sure why you have MEINFO output above? Ohh, but I see Verified boot enabled, so I guess it's good you posted this!
You can't modify BIOS in this system, except certain areas not covered by Intel Boot Guard (which is usually minimal areas, stuff no one wants modified etc, except ME FW or CPU microcodes)

Do you need NVME Mod BIOS? Never mind, due to above, you cannot mod this area of BIOS AND, I see it's NVME compatible by default anyway.
So that leaves.... Nothing to do here, sorry

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
