Hello,
So I saw a website (Add NVMe Boot Support to a HP EliteDesk 800 G1) that claims to provide steps to boot a nvme drive on this desktop. I followed the instructions and nothing happened. I inserted the nvme drive with the adapter and it lits up red. What do I do to install a nvme m2 drive into my hp elitedesk 800 g1 sff pc? HELP!

There is a thread about nvme boot support on sevenforums, together with links for readymade bios and to tachytelic for instructions

booting nvme disk via pcie adapter on older machines - Windows 7 Help Forums

Using the 2018 f16 bios from gigabyte on a ga-b75m d3h motherboard. Using a pcie x1 ( yes x1) adapter in the physical x16 slot on the motherboard for a bit of fun. The nvme disk shows up in bios like

It should work if you have done it correctly.

Have you asked at the tachytelic site ?

I did it about a year ago and I followed the instructions , did everything right and yes it worked. I used my samsung 500gb M2 I installed windows 10, then I tried windows 7 but just wouldn't install right. He does say something in his thread about why windows 7 or earlier won't install.

Win7 needs nvme drivers

Install the sha2 update:
windows6.1-kb4474419-v3-x64.msu

then these nvme drivers attached below.

They can be installed into the mounted install.wim image beforehand. And into boot.wim and winre.wim if desired.

There are also usb3 drivers ( also need the sha2 update first)

Right, but I did that and it still didnt register my adapter as being plugged in correctly. So if it doesnt register with the pc, what am I doing wrong?
