1.) If I put your (stock) bios file in Ubu it tells me it's Aptio 5, I wonder if MMTool 4.5 will work with newer versions
Scanning BIOS file 1 -- 1 System BIOS with BIOS Guard [V00] v1.14.1.bin.
Please wait...
Manufacturer - INTEL Corporation
Model - SKYBAY
BIOS release - 5.11 09/30/2020
BIOS platform - AMI Aptio 5

2.) You're trying to mod a stock bios, but this would only work if you could a use modified bios for an update process. Since the Dell update process wouldn't allow you to update with a modded bios you'd have to work with a dump of your own bios to keep your personal/ machine specific data.

3.) As the name says "1 -- 1 System BIOS with BIOS Guard [V00] v1.14.1.bin": Parts of bios is protected with BIOS Guard (coloured areas in picture). That will make it quite impossible to mod this bios to a non-bricking version...

4.) Searching for NVME in UEFIToolNE gives some hits and it would be very rare if a bios for a machine this new wouldn't have NVME modules included. If it's not working it's disabled by Dell in a different way....

I have Asus B85M-G motherboard. I've just successfully installed Win10 Pro x64 on NVME. I modded the BIOS and successfully flashed the bios using EZflash 2 Utiliy (Wishbringer tricks), but still cannot boot from NVME. CSM Support already set to Disable, too.
Could someone confirm that I've done the mods correctly?

CSM OFF (Pure UEFI), SecureBoot OFF/Other OS, plug ur NVMe and disconnect all other storage/systems drives, run USB windows install (RUFUS GPT ISO W10)

@Fernando @lfb6 thank you for fast response!
1) It is impossible for Aptio V?
2) how can I get a dump of my bios?
3) As you wrote, it's rare but the system doesn't recognized the nvme in the bios. The drive do recognized in my dual boot OS (win10 & Ubuntu 18.04)
I'm using ugreen adapter...

Is there a drive named "PATA" or "PATA_SS" listed within the "Boot" section of the BIOS?

@Fernando
After lots of trial and error I found the method that works. OldGuy Method works perfectly flashed the modded cap bios into Asus Mobo. Use the old Afuwinx64 that still support /GAN. :)

Many thanks @Fernando and @OldGuy

Thanks for the response. God bless you.

Can anyone explain which mod is best for what ?
IDE - ACHI - RAID
Which is best for SSD and which is best for spinning drives?

I'm trying modding bios, following instriuctions given at Fernando's guide, to get an Hp z220 CMT workstation capable to boot from a pcie /nvme m.2 adatper with an SSD samsung 970 evo.
Insertion of NVMe module in source code ( HP z220 Moteherboard - chipset Intel c216 - CPU Intel Xeon E-1245v2), both with UEFItool and MMTool, generates a new pad-file not present in original source code ( se attached images).

I'm a bit concerned to use new fil eto flash bios.
Can I use modified file genrated either by both UEFItool and MMTool , where aside from NVME module insertion it appears also a new pad-file line, to safely mod Bios without bricking the mob?
In case, how can be inserted an NVME module in bios source code and avoid other futher unwanted modifications in bios file ( non additional pad-files)?
In case of no chance to safely overcome the issue, is there any hint to get an HP z220 motherboard (with features above described) booting from Pcie ssd m.2 ssd?
