I have a 850 EVO M.2 SATA SSD and when I booted with it installed it said something about its not a PCIE m.2 Is there any way I can get it to work? I have files on it that I need.

SATA M.2 ≠ NVMe M.2. the second slot is for NVMe sitcks only

use this slot. if it's already occupied, you'd need to temporarily move the stick over (unless it's also SATA, in which case, you'd need an adapter anyway.)

 

 

oh jesus, it shot me a fatal error for a dang SSD placement. smh thanks!
