  • In this video I will show you how to install an NVMe SSD into a computer that does not have an M.2 Socket/Slot. We will use an NVMe to PCIe adapter to do this. This is a great way to speed up an older computer. This video will also cover how to boot into this SSD if your computer does not support booting to PCIe drives.

    If someone is considering one of these cards that can take 2 or more NVMe drives, they need to be very sure that their motherboard is capable of bifurcation of the PCIe slot. If not, then to use a card with more than one drive will require a much more expensive card with bifurcation built in. And Clover is awesome.

    Great video, you forgot one thing. You have to disable secure boot in bios , otherwise clover won,t boot Windows from her bootloader. If you use the Boot utility disk software you only have to click on format and the software does the rest for you beside copy and paste the drivers you need. In that case You dont have to use rufus.

    You also can configure the plist file in clover to speed up 5seconds waiting time till 1 second and last one , with partitition tools you can hide the usb station in my computer

    Thanks for your video. I did everything in the video but I still have a problem. My computers loads 10 minutes. There is a black screen, monitor seems like it has nosignal, usb ports don't work for mobile charging. I tried to restart it many times but it's still the same. Do you know what can be the problem?

    Genuine Question:
    I want to boot windows from my M.2 SATA SSD not NVMe SSD. I've tried every single step mentioned but couldn't boot from it (M.2 SATA not NVMe)
    Any suggestions?

    • @TheHowToGuy123

      You'll need a SATA M.2 to SATA adapter. Once connected, your BIOS should recognize it and will boot into it without the need for clover.

      @@shyamyenagandula2178Nope. This adapter will never work. NVMe M.2 SSDs run of PCIe. SATA M.2 SSDs use SATA. So connecting a SATA SSD into a PCIe slot using that adapter will never work.

      A PCIe slot can be used for any PCIe device. A graphics card is the most common card that goes in a PCIe slot. Generally motherboards have more than one PCIe slot, so a graphics card will go in the top most slot and this SSD adapter would go in the second PCIe slot.

      Those are x1 slots. The adapter won't fit in those. This computer is from 2012, and was merely used as an example. I will never use the PCIe x16 slot on this machine for anything else.
