Booting directly to windows m2

I have a Kingston m2 I'm no certain which exact one, I have windows installed on it already. I have an x99 deluxe with the newest bios and I was wondering if I can skip the windows boot manager and just boot directly to the m2. The m2 shows in the bios fine but not in the boot order menu.

 

It's not a huge deal, only 3 seconds. Just wondering.

 

Thanks

"Boot manager" as an option in your UEFI/BIOS, is stored on the M.2 boot config. Effectively both options do the same thing, there are just nuances on how it is achieved.  If you're not using CSM to boot a non GPT partitioned drive, than you have it configured properly. If you are booting off a UEFI aware installation of Windows, changing to a non UEFI M.2 option will cause the boot to fail.
