thanks for replying so fast what do you mean by undermost listed ,i have been following your guide on how to do this.
(undermost listed) by taking out one of the dxe driver that is not needed.??thanks

@Fernando:
I did it yay!!! I looked at the picture on Insertion of the NVMe module and seen on the right side under text and read what it said (asus_euppei) and put the NVME module in that area since I have a asus mb, and bam!! It worked ,and it came up as pata ss in bios under boot screen.loaded windows 10 64 home.with raid 0 on for my other ssds and all is great.so far. thanks fernando for the help

Thanks, @Fernando, I have found the problem - UEFI boot from the USB setup distro was not worked. After fix it and boot setup stick in UEFI mode I can install the OS and reboot successfully. I have also checked the samsung_m2_dxe.ffs, but it was not worked for 960pro (still no PATA-device in the boot list.)

Well.... the Dell T3610 is a big fat no. Extracting the actual bios from the Dell exe is fine, modding the bios file is fine but getting that back onto the board is only going to be done with a programming jig or figuring a way to recompress it back into a dell exe BIOS update with a valid checksum signature. On this machine its a weird setup with a 4.65 amibios that reports as Insyde and is fully protected from unsigned attempts at flashing it in any way. I tried setting the mobo to factory service mode (it actually has a jumper for that), password bypass/reset mode, every flash utility possible (either error 46 for wrong type, or write protected error). Dell packages their own custom flash utility loosely based on some version of afu. I even tried downgrading it to a very low BIOS version from before Dell got caught with the security issue with their BIOS, tried connecting up a sata SSD temporarily and installign Windows 10, then run a legit flash from Dell, at shutdown kill the power, pulled the SSD and explored everywhere, not in the hidden efi partition nor the hidden recovery partition, nor in the visible windows partition. When you run the official Dell bios update it apparently loads the new rom directly into the UEFI flash file system on the board to install on the next boot. The on board UEFI flash also has a built in flash update utility you can select from the F12 boot menu and then select a bios update file from any attached file system but it will only accept a Dell exe bios update.

Oh well, its not a huge deal for me. These T3610's will still cruise long nicely with a SATA ssd and I can still use the NVMe SSD's in them for ultra fast secondary storage. Or I can always use one of the couple of alternate bootloader methods to preload NVMe drivers. Thats just not nearly as elegant as native NVMe support though.

Interestingly Dell released a new BIOS for it this morning too to address the Meltdown/Spectre bugs. I imagine pretty much every mainstream vendor and mobo manufacturer will probably release BIOS updates for even 5+ year old models for that. Lets just hope the fixes do not drag machines down too much by forcing the needed updates. By changing the predictive speculation it will hit older machines (haswell and earlier processors) running anything below Windows 10 the hardest with very noticeable drops on system speed and performance. :( Oh and its also going to have a big impact on AMD and ARM processor based machines as well including cell phones, tablets, etc.

Hey I was just going to buy a regular ssd but i saw there was a possibility to buy a SAMSUNG 960 EVO M.2 500GB for roughly $207 and its so much faster. But i have a old mobo and i found this thread.

I saw from this thread gigabyte has released a new bios that included the NVME support?

Sorry a noob to this..since i dont have a port for the m.2 nvme drive i would need to buy an adapter right?
would this one work or is there a better one?

Thanks for a beautifully written guide! Had some troubles looking at all the screenshots though because it said something expired in german.

I have a Supermicro X9DRi-LN4F+ motherboard and I have modified the BIOS with the first NVME option and successfully flashed it.
The device shows up as P ATA SS: in boot, perfect.

However, I want to install CentOS instead of Windows. I have tried to install it through UEFI USB I can't seem to get it boot directly. Do you have any advice for me?

Thank you so much, got it working! Had to choose UEFI OS under UEFI Devices in Boot.

Got these results with hdparm. Samsung 960 Pro M.2

/dev/mapper/centos-home:
Timing cached reads: 17926 MB in 2.00 seconds = 8975.41 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 5920 MB in 3.00 seconds = 1973.00 MB/sec

Nice! thank you fernando for checking for me. Im going to search on other user thread about the adapter. Cant believe gigabyte still updating the bios for my old mobo lol

Owh my god! Thank you Fernando. You rock!

This method works on my AMD AM3+ ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0 motherboard (for my file server)
Modded the UEFI BIOS, saved it as CAP file, use the ASUS rename tool then flashed the BIOS using ASUS Flashback

5 minutes later booted my Windows 10 Pro on Toshiba THNSN5256GPUK 256GB NVME SSD
Ran CrystalDiskMark and getting 1475MB/s Write & 600MB/s Read
*Limitation of PCI-Express 2.0 but still a thousand times better than using SATA 3 SSD

Thank you again man, I never thought I could use NVME SSD on my 6 years old file server

Hi guys!
Please help me. I trying to run 960 evo (connected to m2) in asus tp-501uq(aptio5, i7 skylake) laptop already done with that guide also "unlock" bios and nothing... I don't see ssd in bios, windows disk manager, windows instalation suite (tryed add driver manualy) it's look like ssd not connected =(
I attach arcvhive with original bios and moded could you please check it.
