Question Does my motherboard support booting from NVME?

[yorudamaru]

Hi there. I'm really new at pc components and I'd like to build myself an entry level "gaming" pc, just a budget one.

My motherboard is Biostar Racing B250GT3.

This motherboard does have an M.2 x4 and an M.2 x2, but my question is can I boot using an NVME M.2? I'm planning to buy one, but I'm not sure since the site doesn't say anything about it.

If anyone has any idea, please do tell me. I'd really appreciate it.

Yes, it does. There is a Guide in this thread - second post:

Can't boot from M.2 NVMe SSD

I had a Samsung 850 SSD (SATA) with Windows 10 on it. I bought Samsung 970 SSD (M.2). Turned off the computer, plugged it in, inserted a bootable USB stick with Windows 10 on it. Went directly to BIOS and changed boot priority to boot from the stick. Then, I installed Windows 10 on the new drive...

Yes, it will boot from an NVME SSD. No worries.
