[SOLVED] Using PCIe nvme SSD as a boot device for my old PC

[Nathaniel Betita]

Hi, I'm not sure if I asked in the right section but I'm having trouble using my INTEL SSDPEKNW512G8L as my boot device on my emaxx a70fm2+icafe. Of course, I used an M.2 to PCIe adapter. The SSD worked well as extended storage but BIOS can't recognize it as a boot device.

Motherboard: emaxx a70fm2+icafe
A8-7650 with R7 graphics
8gb 1600 ddr3
INTEL SSDPEKNW512G8L
TOSHIBA DT01ACA050 ATA Device

A motherboard of that vintage can't boot from an NVMe in the PCIe slot.
There is no magical fix for this.
