Thank you so much for your help!!!!

Asus EZUpdate refuses to read the modded BIOS on Asus Z9PA-D8C... says the security check does not pass or something like that...

BTW, looking for clues, I found this:

anything useful here?...

@Fernando

A lot of thanks!
Successfully installed Win 10 on 960 Pro and P8Z77-V PRO.

Thanks for all the info.
I think I'll buy a backup BIOS chip for my motherboard, check if it works, and then try to flash with nvme module inserted.

All it would take to solve our problems would be someone at Asus using his/her tool and proper credentials to make a custom signed BIOS in just a few minutes...
What a shame... :-(

Yesterday I received my bios chip modified with the oldest file of Fernando, 3 minutes to install it.
Comment that my board is an ASUS P9X79 and when starting the Bios in UEFI does not appear anything, only in priority of boot and at the beginning using F8 appears a unit (PATA S.S.) I understand that it should be the unit Pcie ssd M.2. I think Pata is a parallel ATA but it says nothing about the 480 Gb capacity. I have cloned the S.O. (Win 10) and does not change anything and still does not appear in the UEFI. The truth is I do not know what Bios settings I have to use, I have tried several things like disable CSM and Quick boot and I do not see any changes. I would need your opinion and ideas about it.

Thank you.

All, After getting my Samsung 950 booting fine from the outstanding advice way back in this forum I, for some reason was drawn to order an Adata XPG SX800 (NVMe) from newegg.com on a one day flash sale ($109 for the 256GB). I mounted it on an adapter and on a whim I installed it in an older machine with a Gigabyte X58 chip set motherboard. To my surprise the BIOS recognizes the device. The device seems to have an on-board NVMe controller that signs on and provides status as part of the BIOS boot up, like an add on SCSI controller would do. It looks like it scans for other devices and can control up to 8 total. I restored a backup to the device and I was able to boot from it without any BIOS mods.

The performance is way above AHCI, but a little below the Samsung devices. It is way less expensive than the Samsung devices. There is a sale on the 512GB version for $207.99 for the next two days at newegg.com.

Enjoy!
David

Dear Fernando, Yes, Yes Yes, I followed all the steps to the letter and Got it, Windos 10 Installed and working. I have done a clean installation which is what I advise, since I had cloned and in the end I lie and erase everything with which the only thing I had left was the ssd M.2 and worked despite having a partition. In short, I can finally take advantage of the full potential of my Corsair MP500.
I am extremely grateful to you and to all the collaborators who have helped me achieve this.

Thanks to all

I have been working all evening on this and I can't seem to boot on my SSD. First I installed the asrock Beta BIOS for the Asrock Z77 Extreme 4(which is the motherboard I am using). I cloned the install of my current Sata SSD and transferred over the new one(I have the NVME driver on my current OS), no luck there. So I installed zorin OS 12 because I want to dual boot between linux and windows 10. Then I tried a clean install of windows 10 following your guide and I was still unable to boot on my PCI-E SSD.

can you please make YouTube video of the guide would be great
