What is the exact drive you bought if you could please link it that would be great.

Posted June 17, 2019 Author I have this drive "Scorch M.2 PCIe Solid State Drives 256GB" and yes it says that this is an NVME drive. Also, I can't seem to find the M.2 boot support option in my bios, however i check videos on how to set NVMe M.2 Drive bootable, with the same settings still my ssd is not recognized.
