Hi all.
I bought a M.2-to-PCIex4 converter adapter.
I want to move my M.2 NVMe drive from M.2 socket on the motherboard (#1 in the picture), install it on M.2-to-PCIex4 converter adapter and fit the adapter in the free PCIex4 slot (#3 in the picture) on the motherboard. PCIex16 slot (#2 in the picture) has display adapter.
M.2 socket on the motherboard has x2 speed, whereas PCIe has x4 speed, which will be an equal match with my M.2 PCIe drive.
M.2 NVMe drive (Disk 0) has Windows 11 on it and dual boots with another Windows 11 on a SATA drive (Disk 1). M.2 NVMe drive has the boot files on it for both itself and the other Windows 11 on SATA drive. SATA drive of other Windows 11 does not have boot files on it. Its EFI System partition appears to be empty. I mounted it checked with Dir command.
In this scenario, does my Windows 11 boot fine in its new home without me doing anything or must I do some startup repairs ?
Has anyone else here in this forum made a similar HW config change ?
