I have a PC that was built on the Sabertooth X58 mobo. I would like to upgrade it to boot from and use a NVMe PCI-e SSDs. The BIOS is 1402 which was released in 2012 and still is listed as the newest BIOS for the board. The NVMe adapter boards are vanilla insofar as they only route pin connections between the adapter and the PCI-e expansion slot. Windows 10 will be ok but I don't know if the BIOS will recognize it as a disk drive.
Does anyone know definitively whether this can be done or not?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Howard
