Help with m.2 with adapter

[Longmaze]

Hello, ive had a 1tb HDD storage device for long now and the speed is at 36 mb/s so i bought a new drive and that ended in a m.2 ssd with about 4950mb/s ,i also had to get a adapter because i did not have a slot in my motherboard, so now when ive done that it all worked fine and i have windows installed on it, but i cant find it in the bios to boot the windows with it, ive tryed everything and the bios i have is Asus and the version of this bios is 2.10.1208.

 

Is there anyone out there that can help me so that i can bot windows on it.

You may not be able to boot from an m.2 in an adapter, unless your mobo is very new

So i cant use PCIe to boot my m.2 disk with?, 

if not

do you think that this mother board i link is anything i can use to do it with?

What motherboard do you have? As @Radium_Angel said, you need to have a fairly recent motherboard to boot from NVMe.

[Longmaze]

i think ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. G10AC (SOCKET 1150) is the motherboard i have, and yes it is pretty old

SOCKET 1150

Yeah too old, sorry bud, you'll need a newer system to fully be able to boot to an m.2 drive

[Longmaze]

Yes i figured that out.. but do you think that ASUS ROG Strix B450-F GAMING, Socket-AM4 is a worthy one?

[Longmaze]

Just find out what model is your motherboard...

So you are also getting a new CPU?

Some LGA 1150 boards did get patched for NVMe later in life, but this is definitely not one of them.

Given the age of that board, that's some impressive manuf support

A family member of mine had an ASUS Z97-C for a bit. It got patched in for BIOS 2404, so speaking from experience.

Yes since am4 socket doesn’tmatch in any ways with the 1150 socket you must get a ryzen cpu to use that board
