I recently bought a 16gig intel Optane drive for my laptop it met all the hardware requirements and everything else except for one thing, BIOS support. So i began doing some research but mostly lose ends and through quite a bit of talking through support chats, emails and other things they said that either there will be support at a later date and some even saying that there most likely will not be support for certain laptops. https://communities.intel.com/thread/113852  So my laptop is an MSI msi gl62m and i wanted to know if you guys have heard of anything or recommendations in my situation. The latest BIOS version does not support Optane yet, also what are the chances of it ever supporting it. And since i am still eligible to return the Optane module waiting and seeing is not really the most ideal option.
