Will my mobo work with the 960 Evo m.2 ssd? If not, then could I use a pcie adapter and boot Windows 10 off of it?
You might be able to run it through a m.2 PCIe adapter, but your board has PCIe 2.0 which would run the 960 EVO at half speed. I would just go with a 850 EVO as it will give you very similar performance.
