[SOLVED] MSI z87 and nvme ssd

[skafio]

hello to all, I have a MSI z87-45 gaming and Installed a wd blue sn550 nvme ssd but this disk is not recognized by the bios to do the boot with windows 10. I know that initially my motherboard did not support nvme ssd but I wonder if there is already any solution . Thank you

The only thing I see for your mobo is an mSATA connection.

Do you have the SN550 on a PCIe card? That's not going to be supported as a boot drive. You can use it as a "secondary" drive though.

yes, this with a pci-e adapter. my goal was to boot with this ssd. will I get this with this https://www.newegg.com/riitop-nvmeta-bd9210/p/0VN-006F-00050? what can I do?

Unless there is a specific BIOS update that addresses booting from an NVMe drive in a PCIe adapter, you cannot.

-----------------
a) the NVMe SSD will be used for the storage of data (as drive D:, E: etc.) and
b) an appropriate NVMe driver is present within the Operating System (either natively or loaded/integrated),
but the usage of such SSD as bootable system drive C: (incl. the boot sector) usually requires a special mainboard BIOS EFI module,
--------------------

A 3rd party BIOS mod might do it to make it a boot drive.
I wouldn't bother, though. You're putting racing tires on a beat up 10 year old Honda Civic.

As a secondary drive, no problem.

But, it seems you've found your answer if you want to go through all that for no or minimal actual gain.
