So i add finally by myself to Asus P8Z68 DELUXE (rev. 1.0) NVMe support.
But i do not see NVMe section, is any possibility to implement from another mainboard NVMe with bios section for it?

@Dabman:
Where didn't you find the NVMe section? Within the BIOS file, within the BIOS GUI or within the Device Manager of your OS?
What have you (already) done and at which step did you run into a problem?
If you have modified the BIOS, please attach it as *.ZIP or *.RAR archive. Then I will do a look into it.

I mean NVMe section in BIOS GUI.
Is any possibility to move this part from another bios?
No i do not have it anymore, i just flash it from 0603 to 3603 and remove files (3603 modded)

Nobody sees an NVMe section after having entered the BIOS (by hitting F2 or DEL while booting). Nevertheless all users with an AMI UEFI BIOS are able to get full NVMe support by following my guide (the only problem may be to get the modded BIOS properly flashed, but this is a general problem and not the topic of this thread).

Finally it is what i did :)
Everything is working now. From that old version 0306 wasn't any flashing problem, i could do it via bios EZ Flash. Without any verification issue.

I was just wonder if it is posible to have NVMe support in BIOS GUI, now i know the answer :)

Hello
I followed your guide and succesfully modded the BIOS of my ASUS Z87I-PRO.
After flashing the BIOS the SAMSUNG 970 installed on my PCI_E adapter was detected by the BIOS and the PC started with the 970 automatically bypassing the previous main HD.
The WIN 10 was previously installed with Rufus on the 970.
The problem now is that I cannot swith off or susdpend the PC.
In both cases the system comes alive again, I can only switch off the PC by pressig the soft button for more than 4 secs.
Any idea about this behaviour?
Perhaps is due to the previously installed win10? or some magic to be done with the BIOS?
Thanks in advance for your help

@jogas:
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum and thanks for your success report!
You obviously have now 2 boot sectors within your system and this may cause problems.
I recommend to delete the usually hidden small sized boot partitions of the previous system drive. You can do that from within the Disk Management of your freshly installed Win10.
Good luck!

Hello Dieter
thanks for your fast reply and for the VERY good guide...
I made a wrong statement before, the current WIN10 installed on the 970 is a clone of the previous disk done with the Samsung migration utilities.
(i did so many attempts before modding the BIOS...)
I do have the two partitions and I used a tool to hide the 200MB one that was labelled as "D"
But, if I delete this partition, does the OS still works? (stuipid question, I know :) )
Regards
Giuseppe

@jogas:
To be honest, I cannot understand users, who have bought an extremely performant new NVMe SSD, but start its usage with a clone of the previously used system drive (full of garbage and with a blown up registry).

For the booting process only the Windows Boot Manager (is within the EFI partition of the NVMe SSD) and the OS partition (drive C:) is required.

Started a fresh installation, below the disk status and some results.
The unallocated 11.64G are due to the Overprovisioning done by samsung magician.
