Intel 600P Not Detected by BIOS (MSI GE62 2QD Laptop)

[ForgedTurbo]

Greetings.

I just purchased an Intel 600P NVMe M.2 PCI-e SSD

Trying to put it in my Laptop (MSI GE62 2QD 081US)

And the BIOS cannot detect the SSD,

Meanwhile, Windows 10 Home (64-bit) is detecting it just fine.

I can read from and write to the SSD, no problem.

The laptop has a 5th Gen Intel Processor (Broadwell)

i7-5700HQ

Which I am not sure if supports NVMe

The motherboard supports PCI-e SSD (PCI-e 2.0 x4)

(it should be compatible with PCI-e 3.0 x4)(I am not worried about the bottle neck.)

I updated the BIOS, which still indicates the PCI-e Hard Drive Slot as "Empty"

I can use it for storage at the moment, but I would rather use it as my boot drive.

I don't know why and how this happened, so please help!!

Thanks in advance.

that chipset does not have native NVMe support and MSI has not released a BIOS update for add this functionality

Thanks for the reply, but why would Windows know?

I might have to stick with a ultra fast storage drive, and a slower boot drive.

windows knows because it has drivers for it

 

return the 600p and get a m.2 850EVO - the 600p is a shitty NVMe drive anyways
