Hi,
Would it be possible to ask for help for a modded Bios to enable nvme port even if nothing is connected during boot-up. Im currently testing this for EGPU setup.

Thank you!
@silenhunter03 - NVME boot has nothing to do with ME or ME FW, so not sure why you have MEINFO output above? Ohh, but I see Verified boot enabled, so I guess it’s good you posted this!
You can’t modify BIOS in this system, except certain areas not covered by Intel Boot Guard (which is usually minimal areas, stuff no one wants modified etc, except ME FW or CPU microcodes)
Do you need NVME Mod BIOS? Never mind, due to above, you cannot mod this area of BIOS AND, I see it’s NVME compatible by default anyway.
So that leaves… Nothing to do here, sorry
