Afternoon all,

i have just bought some new storage.

Samsung SM961 Polaris 1TB M.2-2880 PCI-e 3.0 x 4 NVMe Solid State Drive which is fitted to Asus Hyper M.2 X4 PCI-E Mini Adapter Card - Black PCB, which i have installed in a PCIEx4 slot. i want to use the new drive as the boot drive for window, currently Windows 7 Pro, but once a clean install is compete i want to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro.

The drive is available when i boot into windows from my existing drive, with the bench mark below.

The drive however is not showing in the bios, Motherboard, Z77X-UD5H rev1 bios F16.

Question.
1. what do i need to do make this bootable?
