Plz make a videos on how to install windows in this NVme m.2 ssd
I'm trying but it's not deceit in main boi set up
Window's 10 plz
Old games sounds in the video are hilarious,thx for great video
Glad you like them! I'll keep them coming
Best video out there on how to install an NVMe SSD in an old PC via PCI slot !
Supposedly Z97, and other 9 series chipsets were the first to allow booting from NVME drives.
With clover bootloader, every motherboard boots from nvme, so it shouldn't be supported natively.
Has to be recognized in the bios as a bootable drive if you want to use it for your OS.
I have the same question man.
@@VivekRaoAnandTheGreatestEver That is a statement. Your bios must recognize the pcie nvme in the list of bootable drives to be able to boot your OS from it. If it is just recognized as a storage drive it cannot be booted to, just used for storage.
How to make it as boot drive? Just I don't want to always keep plugged in my usb stick.. possible fix with clover boot loader please.
Is it worth it to put these on a motherboard that has PCIe 2.0? I know transfer rate is lower
THANK YOU for information which helped me in 2023 (win 7 hotfix)
No idea what I did wrong. Bought a decent adapter on Amazon, put the m.2 in it, put it in my HP PCIe slot, and it fried the motherboard.
Thanks bhai for your knowledge and time,
Is it safe and durable??
Thanks for the video. I learned much from it. Hope you continue doing it. I have an old dell optiplex 790 and excited to improve its performance following your advise.
That's great to hear, Fred. Best wishes for your upgrade.
Did it work i have same 790
@@danimationstips but isnt 790 is frm 2012-2013 as u said in other comments you cant use it as bootrdrive on old motherboard
@@speedwagon5951 Ah, apologies. I think it's very unlikely that the Dell Optiplex 790 will be able to boot from the PCIe adaptor holding an NVMe. Looks like the unit was designed in 2011, which is well before NVMe storage became available.... so it wasn't factored into the BIOS... meaning you can't select it as a boot drive. It will work as a secondary drive though, but probably at limited speed if the PC only have PCI 2.0 slots.
@@danimationstips i have pcie 3.0 slot but i already use it for my 1650 low profile i still have the 2.0 slot do you think its worth it or just get a normal ssd
I wonder if making the NVME drive bootable requires a fresh Windows 10 install or is a clone of the old drive (old Windows) sufficient providing modification of bootloader and using Clover/USB method? Anyone? Thanks for the video.
Hi can i fit nveme ssd with adapter in my hp compaq 6300 sff small factor pc tell me please
You can, but it only has a PCI 2.0 slot, so the speed won't be amazing. Not worthwhile, in my opinion. If you want to fit an SSD in that slot, getting an mSATA SSD is a better option. I've made a video about putting an mSATA SSD in a desktop PC using an adaptor. Give that a watch and see what you think.
Do I need a heat spreder? Speeds are phenomenal.
Do I need to add heatsink and thermal pad on the NVME card or Adapter?
please teach how to make bios can read the nvme m.2
Hi there. Thanks for sharing and trying to help. I have done the same installation as you have on an ASUS 88X Pro motherboard. The Bios does see this drive and I have cloned my previous SSD to the NVMe, but the system won't allow a situation where I can boot from the NVMe which is what I got it for. Would appreciate any comments that would help.
You raise a good point. Unfortunately not all old motherboards are going to allow you to assign the PCI/NVMe as your boot disk. I had a similar experience with an Asrock motherboard. While I was able to install the drive after updating BIOS, I was unable to make it the primary boot disk.
The only absolute solution in this case is to replace your motherboard. Alternatively, you can strike a compromise by installing the programs that you need to perform fastest on the NVMe, including games, video editing software and the like. You should also use the NVMe as your scratch disk for any applications that require the temporary writing/reading of significant volumes of data. In my case, I settled for using a regular SATA SSD as the boot disk, and the NVMe as a secondary drive for games and multimedia production.
Taking a longer view, it seems that the next upgrade for both of us is likely to be a new motherboard.
@@danimationstips Thanks for the reply. Very helpful.
@@racl1954 A Good Lesson for you.
Here is the summary about SSD types:
The Good'Old SATA SSD are just "Good Enough" for booting the OS from this drive. Especially on older Motherboards / System. SATA SSD is more than enough if "its Job" is just Handling the OS, Registry, Drivers, and nothing else.
The PCIe Add-in NVMe SSD like in this Video Might not able to be set for Boot Drive. But it is certainly FASTER for Software and Games installation Folder.
So basically just Follow this video, and then install all your Games and Apps to NVMe SSD. No need to make it as a Boot Drive.
Late response. You can actually do this by using a USB drive with Clover installed. There is a well-documented guide if you google "
[Guide] NVMe-boot without modding your UEFI/BIOS"
@@AnonymousKev True, you set BIOS to boot from that USB wich has Clover boot installed on it, then Clover boots the NVMe disk.
I have a mainboard m.2 ssd slot and a pcie crad from amazon. why is the pcie card giving faster read and write speeds?
Hello will that work in msi a320m pro motherboard? I have a gen3.0 pcie x16 slot. I want to put nvme m2, just like what you did, I have windows 10. 64bit. Thank you...
Yes David, you'll be fine with that configuration. Windows 10 natively supports the NVMe in PCI x16 slot adaptor. The only unknown is whether you'll be able to assign it as your bott drive. You'll need to consult your motherboard manual for that information, and possibly update (flash) your firmware. If your motherboard is a 2014 model or later, it probably supports booting from NVMe.
I have and old mobo (socket 1366) and i am trying to install windows 10 in expansion card with NVME M2 2TB. I received message that :
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computers hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure That the disk controller is enabled in the computers BIOS menu."
Can i bypass this using WinNTsetup 5.2 or clover ?
hi, can i upgrade my pc with this memory, i have a ASUS X99-DELUXE
Can the adaptor be used to test, using a SATA to USB cable to a PC, a M 2 or Nvme? Thank you 🤓
Hello dear sr. I need help, well My pcchips a31g is very loooooooow an is posible install port pcie AGP this M2 or NVE. THANKS.
Hello
Could you please tell me as to were is this LINK you stated as to putting a Windows 7 machine into using a fast fix patch for installing a NVMe SSD in an old desktop PC with a PCIe slot.
As I can not see any LINK about No Windows 7 machine link or find any patch what so ever?
Hi. I have ordered SN570 Nvme SSD & Pi Plus nvme adaptor. My mother board is Gigabyte H87m D3H. My Pciex16is empty rite now. Can you pls suggest if i will be able to install windows in this? Pls help
How about a dual slotted adapter for running 2 nvme drivrs. I need a good recommendation.
Hmm, I haven't tried those. I wonder if there's any roll-off in performance at all, if both drives are working simultaneously.
Pls reply i have h110 m -s2 lga 1151 ddr4 ( gigabyte mother board supports 6th generation processor
Supports 1* pcie 3*16
Pls reply it helps a lot
Can this adapter support
How can I do this with win10???
Can you boot from it?
Hi Ming, that depends on your motherboard. Update your BIOS and check the options your BIOS provides. Older motherboards from around 2014 or earlier may not be able to boot from the NVMe SSD.
I followed the steps exactly but windows is not finding the SSD. Any suggestions? I have a spectrix s40g SSD with the adaptor in your video. Hp 6300 pc. I see the rgb lights on the SSD but nothing on the pc.
First, find and download your system/motherboard's manuals and do a quick search for "NVMe"... it is possible that your motherboard or that particular HP system doesn't support NVMe SSDs.
It's also possible that updating your BIOS will solve the problem entirely. This is quite likely the problem for motherboards made in the early-to-mid 2010s.
That said, I have one of these working in a PC from 2010, so I'd remain optimistic. Good luck, and let me know how you go.
I checked out HP's website and found the page on updating your BIOS. I see your system's from 2012, so that pre-dates consumer NVMe SSDs and is probably your problem! Here's the link:
support.hp.com/au-en/document/c00007682
@@danimationstips I appreciate you taking your time out and seeking out the needed information for me I will update here if it worked.
@@thoughtsuncensored7321 No worries. You've reminded me that I should make a video showing people how to update their computer's BIOS :)
@@danimationstips I certainly searched for that term I am sure it will help many. No one ever thinks of updating their bios I feel like.
THANKS!!
Do you have ASUS P6X58D-E with PCI-X 2.0 and still you have the full speed (3000 MB/s) with that kingston drive? I can't belive it. Pci 2.0 does not support that high data rate.
QUESTION: how to install SSD drives as storage if using NVMe as boot drive? thank you!
im trying to figure out how to get my NVMe M.2 SSD drive to be my boot drive on an older HP desktop . I cloned Windows 7 onto it.
The trouble you might be having is the motherboard may not be NVMe compatible. Have you tried updating your firmware on your motherboard to the latest version?
Just make sure the PC boots from the NVMe first (in your BIOS settings on computer startup). Then you can format and put whatever data you like on your extra SSDs.
great idea thanks. does my old HP 8300 sff support booting from nvme ssd ??
You have to bios mod i think
@@slaydog5102 Thanks, i already did. It works greate
Asus H110M-CS it well support
Thanks for saying so, Rajendra. Glad it worked for you.
Is it working with - Intel® P67 and is it reducing the speed of the main PCI express slot ? ( populated with video card )
I wouldn't use an NVMe SSD in a motherboard which only has PCI 2.0 slots. You might as well get a regular mSATA SSD instead, as you won't get anywhere close to the full speed benefits of NVMe.
Hi Danimationstips
I bought 4 x Sumsung 970 evo Plus 2 TB ssd's. I assumed i could use an adapter into 1 of the 5 pcie x16 of my X99 Deluxe motherboard.
Will i be able to run ok do you think ? And is there a brand you'd recommend ?
Yes, those will work fine. I've only used one brand of adaptor, so I can't really say. Use the link in the video description and have a browse. You'll find that they are all very, very similar, cheap and their components are minimal. I'm not sure what extra value (real or perceived) more expensive ones offer.
Hi thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge. If possible can You please help me out to upgrade optimum level of SSD in my old Dell PC. Model No: Dell Inspiron 660s [i5 (3330s)3rd Gen, 8gb RAM, 1tb HDD]. Hoping for your prompt response.
Hi Parveen, I suggest you look up your system's manual and find out how many PCI 3.0+ x16 slots are available if you want to run NVMe SSD. You can use the available SATA ports for conventional SSDs and you can even install other formats of SSD with various adaptors if you want. It all comes down to your objective: capacity, speed and budget.
@@danimationstips Hi, Sorry to delay in the response. Today I personally explore the market with my CPU in order to upgrade my Hard Disk but my search ended up to SATA Internal SSD III as per the seller opinions here. Well I am in a bit of confusion whether I can upgrade my HDD to PCIe NVME SSD or not as they are saying My motherboard does not have M.2 slot. Kindly help me out. Thanks and hoping for your prompt response. Parveen
@@danimationstips does pcie 2.0 x16 work?
I have Zebronics H61 motherboard with Intel i3 3rd generation processor installed. Can I make this upgrade and install it as a primary boot device? Will that work? Will motherboard detect it as a boot media?
Same here, mine is H61H2-MV V1.0
I can't seem to find this if it is workable. Can I add the nvme driver to an already installed W7 other than within the install media somehow? Then I should be able to use the access to be able to clone the OS over to the nvme.
There should be a windows 7 iso with nvme support on archive org
Sir can I run Dell i7 2nd generation old PC PCI slot 4x m.2 nvme please reply
Find the manual for your PC then search it for the term NVMe. If the term doesn't appear in your motherboard manual, it may not be compatible. If you give me a model number for your PC (it will be on the outside of the case somewhere) I can look it up for you.
If it has an available slot, you should be fine... but if your motherboard is pre-2014, you may not be able to assign the NVMe to be your primary/boot disk.
Hello, I have build my PC in 2014 with ASUS Z87 Pro Motherboard & Intel i7 4770K 3.5GHz processor,so I want to ask you can I use NVMe with this adpter with my PC & which generation SSD is good for my PC, can you help?
Hi Kunalsingh. I've looked up your motherboard and can say that yes, the NVMe drive will be compatible, provided that you are running Windows 7 or later (NVMe SSDs are natively supported from Windows 8 onwards).
It's unclear is whether or not you would be able to use an nVMe SSD as your primary boot disc, that is, running your operating system from it. I suspect not, as the BIOS updates don't list that as a feature. But you won't know until you try, unfortunately! I would recommend installing the latest BIOS update for your motherboard beforehand: www.asus.com/us/supportonly/Z87-PRO(V%20EDITION)/HelpDesk_BIOS/
There are many m.2 NVMe SSDs available... choosing the right one for you will depend on your priority: speed or budget. Good luck, and please let me know if you decide to install one and what results. Links for buying the adaptor and an SSD are in this video description.
@@danimationstips thank you so much for your reply 😊. yes I have installed WIN10 in my PC, but which gen is suitable for my PC? as in some of YT videos I have seen they recommend GEN4 SSD 9th gen intel & above.
@@kunalsinghchauhan4820 I wouldn't pay too much attention to that detail. You'll be installing it in a PCI 3.0 slot, so you won't get the max speeds available from the latest NVMe SSDs anyhow. To get faster performance, you'd need to get a new motherboard or PC. If running the NVMe as your prmary boot disc (OS) is essential to you, I'd recommend buying a new motherboard that natively supports NVMe. I hope this advice is helpful.
@@danimationstips yes thank you 👍
I'm using adata sx6000 lite 512 gb with external adapter. But I'm got 3 times issue around BSOD, not detected on UEFI, cannot boot, many more. And now my nvme is can't detected. As a result I can't work with my PC. Do have experience like me bro?

@@ClayWheeler , okay bro. I try when it possible. I mean when i got enough money to replace my nvme with sata ssd.
I agree with Clay. Many older motherboards, like pre 2013 or so, won't support PCI-NVMe as a boot drive. There will be no way to select it in BIOS. But it will be recognised by your operating system once it's installed on a Windows 8 or later machine.
Can I install NEMV M.2 ssd using adapter on my Intel Dh61ww motherboard, which have pcie 16x gen 2 slot? And will I get full speed performance?
No, with PCIE Gen 2 you won't get the full speed benefits. For those, you need a free PCIe 3 slot or later.
@@danimations80 Thank you! But this motherboard have not PCIe 3 slot then what should I do?
@@danimations80 I have already tried 2.5 inch Sata 3 WD and Samsung SSD's but got only 284/270 MBs speed so returned it.
@@infotips1114 The bad news is: you need a newer, PCI3+ capable motherboard to get the full speed benefits of NVMe SSDs.
@@danimations80 Thanks!
Please not detected BIOS
Can you install os on it ??
That depends on your motherboard. Whether you can assign your NVMe SSD in PCIe slot as a boot disk will vary, depending on the motherboard's BIOS. Your best option is to check out what BIOS updates are available for your motherboard and any updates to the manual/documentation for it. Search for "NVMe" within that documentation and see what comes up. Good luck, and please let me know how you go.
I know it is slower, but can a regular m.2 non nvme ssd be used without the driver issue? (I guess if it can be done it would end up sata speed, so the only advantage would be packaging.)
Try to get one9f these M.2 adapter card to work in my Asus P9X79 MB. So far, it doesn’t recognize it!🤔🥹
@Nescrun No, I can’t get the bios to recognize the plié card at all. Tried several different setting.
