[Request] NVMe support for ASUS Zenbook Pro UX501J

Hi @Sasiccia84,

The ZenBook behaviour with the moded BIOS is a little strange … but maybe it is normal for such modification.

I’ve checked my ZenBook a few minutes ago:

  • I didn’t found info about my NVMe drive in BIOS.
  • I can’t boot from my NVMe drive, but …
  • … I can boot from “Windows Boot Manager” installed on my NVMe drive (in UEFI mode).

And as I remember from the past, when I installed Windows 10:

  • When I started laptop from pendrive in UEFI mode then it was possible to install system on the NVMe drive and then boot.
  • When I started laptop from pendrive in the old “BIOS mode”, the Windows said that it can’t be installed on the NVMe drive.

I think important: When I started working with my ZenBook I boot it from the pendrive with Macrium Reflect Rescue Media. And as I remember, the NVMe drive was visible there even before BIOS modification.

And the last but not least. Look at this post: [HowTo] Get full NVMe Support for all Systems with an AMI UEFI BIOS - #7275 by marcinkk - it was a real challange to install system on this laptop. As I wrote there: I’ve installed it on VirtualBox, then copied to the NVMe drive with Macrium and then booted successfuly.

BTW: After another few tricks I have upgraded system to Win11 22H2 some time ago :wink: Works flawlessly :wink:

Regards,
Marcin

PS. In the post mentioned above I wrote " the disk was seen in the BIOS" but in this post, after checking, I wrote that there is no information about NVMe drive in BIOS. I think it depends on other BIOS settings, but I’m not sure :frowning:
