Question Motherboard only detecting NVMe M.2 drives

[Qwob]

About a month ago now, I upgraded my pc. I planned on using the same 500GB SATA M.2 (that also has my old version of win10 on) but it just wont show up in BIOS.
The only drives that do show, are my NVMe m.2's so im a bit confused.
Is it just that some boards no longer support SATA m.2 drives? I have some old data on there and I'd like to recover, but quite a lot of stuff i stripped out my old PC so it would more trouble than its worth reconnecting it all back (AIO, PSU, Cables, etc).

Current motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B650-A Gaming WiFi AMD Ryzen AM5 ATX (Nov 2024)
Old one: ASUS TUF Z390-Plus Gaming (Wi-Fi) LGA1151 (Intel 8th and 9th Gen) ATX (Jan 2020)

Is there any way I can get my old SATA SSD back up and running?
Thanks!

Your motherboard does not appear to support SATA M.2 drives.

And in any case, you'd likely need to do a full OS reinstall if it did.

Ah gotcha, I did notice it said "M key" multiple times but just thought it would say something more obvious like NVMe / SATA support. So I guess thats on me.

Just ordered an M.2 SATA adapter so that should work now. Thanks

What specific adapter?
Link, please.

This one
It says it supports B+M Keys, which is what my old SSD uses

OK, that should work, connecting via regular SATA data and power.

Again, the OS on that drive will not simply 'boot up' in the new system.
