@Fernando:
One slot is labeled nvme and another says sata
NVMe in nvme slot gives frozen bios, in sata does nothing
As for the bios, it has nvme/pcie x4 settings, but it probably doesn't mean much
Is there a way to make an image of installed bios since brand support seems unexistant?

@tombfox: Are the NVMe/SATA slots M.2 or PCIe ones?

You should be able to dump (=make a backup of) the BIOS Region, which is within the BIOS chip of your laptop. The suitable BIOS dump tool depends on the manufacturer and the chipset/CPU of your laptop.
To find out, whether your system does natively support NVMe, I recommend to try to get Win10 installed onto the NVMe SSD by following the chapter 4 of the "This is what you should do" list, which is part of my guide within the start post of this thread. Don't forget to remove all other disk drives and to use the requested BIOS settings before you start booting off the USB Flash Drive.

Hello @Fernando . I again my z77 board died in a short time and I wonder if I can modify the bios of my ga-b75m-hd3 to boot from an nvme. I will use the pcie 1x 2.0 port. please help me. I need something faster than 600mb / s and as far as pci 1x reaches 1gb / s.

@Eliecer 747: Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
If you want my help, I need attached or linked the original and your modded BIOS as *.zip archives.
If you don't even want to try to modify the BIOS yourself, you should post your BIOS Modding request into >this< Sub-Forum.
Good luck!

I'm sorry I'm a bit impatient and decided to run the modified bios. apparently everything works perfectly. now I will wait for my amazon adapter to arrive and try to boot from an nvme unit. wish me luck.😁

The modded BIOS seems to be fine and ready for being flashed.

@Fernando:
Both slots are m2
The problem with windows install is that I can't get through bios with nvme in nvme slot, so I can't even get to it

@tombfox:
Sinve the NVMe SSD itself seems to be fine (works within other systems), I suspect a mainboard problem (faulty CPU/Chipset > M.2 port connection).

Hello Fernando, I search the web and landed here. It's a great Forum for modding firmware. I am currently using Mainboard Intel NUC10i7FNH with original NUC10i7 bios version BIOS Update [FNCML357] and I own a NVMe SSD Samsung PM981a (256GB) and want to boot from it.

my problem is "intel nuc" not detecting "PM981A Nvme". Bios FFFF: FFFF

help please

@Fernando I think I did everything right but my board does not run the new bios well. yesterday my board went short and took more than 12 hours to get it working again. I am thankful that my board uses dual bios and I was able to recover it. so i discard nvme on ga-b75m-hd3 board.

@endera:
Since Intel mainboards usually don't have a normal AMI UEFI BIOS, I cannot help you. I recommend to post your request into >this< Sub-Forum and wait for any support.
Don't forget to attach the "pure" BIOS file as *.zip archive.
Good luck!

@Eliecer 747:
I seriously doubt, that your problems were caused by the modded BIOS file, and suspect, that you forgot to restore your previous BIOS settings after having flashed the modded BIOS.

Hi, I'm trying to mod my bios for the mobo ga-z68xp-ud3r, and as I was using the mmtool to insert the NvmExpressDxe_Small.ffs it prompts me with an error "file exceeds the volume size" even though it's already the small size. Any help on this?

Attached is the bios I'm working on, fresh and un-modded.

@kryan.supan:
Since this is the matching location for users, who want to get a natively missing NVMe module inserted into the BIOS of their mainboard, I have moved your post into this already existing thread.
The following pictures verify, that the insertion will work properly, if you use the "Insert Compressed" option of the MMTool:

Good luck!
