Bios mod as UEFI not possible as this is AMI Core 8 legacy bios. Possible yes… bios mod not likely.

As this model belongs to the Asus P5 family, read the following threads:

Please Add NVMe module to Asus P5Q Turbo bios

You’ll get a picture of it…

Alternative experimental method: [Experimental] NVMe Option ROM

@SLAVENTIK : Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
Since your mainboard has a very old Intel X48 Chipset with an ICH9R Southbridge and a Legacy (non-UEFI) BIOS, it is not easy for you get that machine being bootable off any NVMe SSD (except the Samsung 850 Pro).
The only BIOS modding method, which may let you use any other NVMe SSD as bootable system drive, has been described within >this< thread, but it is rather unsure, whether you will succeed.
Good luck!

I bought a 1TB SSD WD Blue SN 550. Of course, he does not have such lotions as the Samsung 850 pro. Will I be able to solve my problem somehow now? There is a pci-e - M2 adapter. In the test Windows 10, the device sees. But my old motherboard does not allow it to be installed so easily on this nvme disk as on a bootable one! Tried with clover - failed(
