NVMe support on MSI K8N Neo4

Special Topics NVMe Support for old Systems
1

I have an NVME (Adata XPG SX6000 Lite SSD) with a pcie adapter, followed this guide here and I can boot to the system.
However I would like to mod the bios (Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG) in order to make the NVME bootable without booting through the USB.
It is an MSI K8N Neo4 (MS-7125 VER:1) motherboard
Is it possible?

Many thanks

Hello @Lost_N_BIOS , sorry for the tag but maybe you know if it is possible to mod my bios?


Thanks,

Legacy bios as yours, its not possible the insertion of NVMe module for boot.

Some Plextor (don’t know which) or Samsung 950 pro nvme (those with native boot support of legacy bios) would work though, right?


— edit —
I though I had an old Samsung pro, but just found out that its an 860 evo. So I don’t think it worth it to get one of the above on such an old system.
Thanks for the answer anyway

@thod_ris :

It is the Samsung 950 Pro, which is bootable even in systems without an UEFI BIOS (due to its on-board NVMe Option ROM).
