All RAR archives, which are offered within this Forum, have been created by using WinRAR v5.xx. You obviously are using an outdated WinRAR version.
Solution: Use an up-to-date version of WinRAR v5.xx or 7-Zip v18xx and your problem will be solved.

1. There is no need to insert 4 NVMe modules. The insertion of the NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs will give your system full NVMe support.
2. The GopDriver of the graphics card doesn't matter, if you set within the BIOS CSM to "Enabled".

Great, thanks

Okay, I know how really dense this is going to sound, but I'm just confused from reading sooo many pages....

I have the P9X79-LE motherboard. It has the 2011 i7-3820 CPU. A friend upgraded and sold this to me as my gear is (even more) ancient. It's been a while since I dabbled in modding anything, so I'm rusty AND a bit terrified of bricking it by doing this wrong.
Right now, the BIOS for this motherboard on the Asus site is 4801--> and that's what it currently is. I have the SM951/256GB NVMe drive sitting inside of this adapter:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/112963953370...ME:L:OU:US:3160
It's recognized as a storage drive by Linux Mint live as well as a Windows 10 installer.

I'm confused mainly in that there are so many NVMe drives being talked about as well as different boards. Can I actually get this drive, in this board, in this adapter recognized as a boot device?
If yes, what is the exact way to go about it? I know there's a "how-to" at the start of these hundreds of pages, but is there a different version which applies to my scenario or no? Am I right to think I am supposed to be modding the 4801 BIOS from Asus?
Thanks for reading and for any help/reassurances you might have,

I am using a similar adapter on my board which i plugged into the 4-lane slot. No difference of how to proceed in Terms of modding/installing.

Are you using the #2 16X slot, when you say "4-lane"?

I'm only just laying eyes on this board and am excited to enable NVMe, not so much hosing the thing before I can use it. Is there a configuration which allows full-speed (16X) to both the #1 & #2 slots or does something take a hit when using the NVMe in one of the slots?

Thank you!

I owe a different board so the designations may differ, but basically: Yes.
This may reduce the performance of the Graphics Card, but that doesnt matter to me
