    Can I boot x-99 Deluxe from NVME


    Hello all,
    First ever post so here goes nothing.

    I've finally discovered NVMe SSD possibilities (yes, I'm an old fart & not very PC literate) & I'm hoping my 2014 Asus X-99 Deluxe (LGA 2011-3) is capable of supporting an NVMe M.2 SSD & booting from it. This is all in the hope of avoiding a major (read ...expensive) upgrade. The speed increase + additional storage capacity is very attractive & should see me OK for a few years.
    I mainly use the PC for Wildlife photography (shooting RAW) so using PS 2020, Bridge & Fast Raw Viewer.

    I have the (supplied with X-99 MB) Hyper M.2 X 4 expansion card, which appears to have an NVMe port on it (slot/cut out is on R.H.S. as you look at the port on the card - is this what they call M key'ed? So I'm hoping I can buy an NVMe card & boot from it into Win 10. I've got some old gear on the PC so the BIOS is hybrid UEFI e.g. I don't think it can support Fastboot etc.

    I'd better stop rambling here & hope some of you talented youngsters can guide me home *Redface)

    Best,

    :)

  2. Use bootloader from a SATA disk to boot Windows installation on a NVME disk

    I've managed to get the system booting from the NVME some other way:

    1. Converted the NVME to GPT using MBR2GPT.EXE
    2. Hacked NVME support into the bios

    Can I boot x-99 Deluxe from NVME

    Dual Booting 2 x Windows 10 OS Drives (Existing Installs)


    It is uneccessary to do all of the above.
    1. Boot up Windows 10
    2. Open Disk Management and take a note of the drive letter of the other Windows 10
    3. Open Admin Command Prompt and type: bcdboot X:\Windows where X is the drive letter noted in step 2
    4. Reboot, you should have a dual boot menu.
