Dear viewers, since one of my videos was deleted due to link issues, there will be none at all in the description. Tuxhardware's Discord server is the only place where the links are available now.
Greetings everyone.
Do you have an old motherboard without M.2 socket, bought a NVME PCIe adapter and couldn't boot windows on the NVME SSD?
Watch the video!
For Linux users, I'll have a video starting Clover from Grub.

it is ok but it is a tad unclear about how to do the whole thing, maybe you shouldnt speed it up and explain a bit better cos it seems you explain things that are unneeded or maybe they are needed but if you dont say why it confuses us

I have two NVMe SSDs in my system. Both SSDs have Windows installed in them.
Motherboard model MSI H410M A Pro.
*Drive 1 is connected to motherboards only NVMe m.2 slot
*Drive 2 is connected to a PCIE x1 slot through an adapter same as you used in your video
How can I boot from my secondary drive?
Can you help?

Hiya
Bought my Asus P9X79 in 2012- latest BIOS 2014, followed your tutorial and machine booted up perfect. Been using for a few days now all good.
So many thanks brought new life to an old PC...
Greetings and thank you for subscribing. Your comment brings one of this channel's goals. If we have an old hardware that still rocks, why not keeping it functional with few updates? Even if we can buy a new one, throwing the old one away will only increase the electronic waste. Thank you.
Awesome video! You helped me solve this problem so quickly. I upgraded a Lenovo Thinkstation P300 with a pcie m.2 drive and now I am able to boot to it with no issues. You are the best! Great video! I am going to mod the usb 2.0 header on the motherboard so I can just plug the usb drive in inside.
Greetings Raven Ironwing and thanks for your support. The channel's purpose is exactly this. Although discontinued, P300 still looks to be a nice setup. Liked the hot wheels video and subscribed to your channel.
@@tuxhardware Awesome, thanks! I'm a CS teacher (this year, though I usually teach physics) and my school still uses the p300s. I've been repairing and upgrade them for the school. I bought one of my own for about $50 on ebay just to see how far it can be upgraded without replacing the motherboard.
@@IronwingTechHaven Nice, although I don't understand the meaning of cs. I am from Brazil, and English is not my first language. But I got the general idea. If you need help, send your issues about P300 to my email. I will do my best to help you. I just saw that you have a second channel. Subscribed as well. I presume you are from the US, right?

Your indications for a windows pc worked like a charm. Thanks. I dont understend why on the page of the developers there isnt a video with detailed instructions. However, i have a question: why there is need for a partition of 512mb on the usb? i am using a 4gb stick, and yes, if is going to remain in the usb slot, the rest of the space is useles, but i'am curious, why 512mb partition?
Greetings. Actually, there is no need for a partition of 512 MB. I adopted a 512 MB EFI partition as standard. Every system I install has this configuration. Any partition size will be just fine. The remaining space in the usb stick could be used to create another partition. If you can, hit the like button and subscribe the channel.
thank you brotha for the awesome video. It was simple and easy to follow even with no audio which i prefer. That way I dont have to listen to some voice give me instructions. Its easier to follow when the instructions are listed on the screen and I can pause at any given moment. I would suggest not speeding the video up so much as it was a little unclear what was actually happening when you were moving at the speed of light lol. Even that wasn't a huge problem though because I could just slow down the playback speed. Thank you again homie.

Greetings, Gerry. Thanks for your comment. The written guide already exists. The step by step is written in the video. If it is to fast, you can just slow it down. The platform structure allows you to do that. A RUclips channel is based on video content, not text. There is no reason why I should do more work if the job is already done.

@@tuxhardwaredoes the nvme driver come with clover?
Pretty funny how responsive old systems are with a new drive system that could have easily been programmed to work for out of the box users of newer windows and linux OS's , kind of makes sense on a large scale about the economics of that business. 2:35 great video thanks, made the top of the charts on my page.

@@tuxhardware aproveitando o gatilho, se você não se importa em responder, sabe se tem como tirar aquelas outras opções de boot que aparecem no clover?
@joaogabrielkliemann8360 essas opções aparecem pq ele está com a auto busca. Ele varre as participações em busca dos sistemas para iniciar. Se não quiser ver a tela, faça o boot do sistema q quiser dá primeira vez. Ele vai guardar qual foi a sua escolha. Depois zere o tempo de tela.

I don't really want Windows on the back burner, however Linux deserves to be more of a priority.
Greetings, Jerry. English is not my native language. I am not sure about what you mean. Can you explain it better?
@@tuxhardware he means when your machine is old installing Linux is a better idea which I don't really agree with, if you like it sure but it's not very user friendly so for most users Windows is better, and it can absolutely run well on old systems, even Windows 11, thanks to SSDs.
@@Zebra_Paw Windows 11 running well on old Hardware? I don't think so. Only if by old you mean from 5 years ago. Do you think Windows 11 can be installed on the PC from this video (more than 10 years old) by an ordinary windows user? Anyway, thanks for the explanation.
@@tuxhardware on Microsoft's website you literally find a guide to bypass the need for Secure Boot and TPM 2.0, and there are videos that are like 5 minutes long and teach you how to add the registry keys from the Windows installer itself.
I run Windows 11 perfectly on my 2007 Dell Inspiron 1520, that's over 15 years old at this point. I was able to install all the drivers and everything!
@SpatialZebra I didn't say it was impossible, just the ordinary windows user can't. After 2 years it was released, windows 10 still has more instalations every day than windows 11. Why? Because it's easy for ordinary windows user.
Thanks, and I approve of this tutorial music. Also, I wonder if there is a way to inject the clover bootloader into the actual NVMe drive itself? Making the usb stick obsolete. Samsung 850 NVMe can boot on older systems because of its bootloader.
Greetings. To boot Clover, the bios firmware must read it. On old hardware, the bios firmware doesn't have the proper driver to do so. You need clover on a disk that the bios have the driver to "talk" to the hardware. If old bios could boot clover from the nvme ssd, there would be no need to use clover, since you could boot the operacional system as well. But you can install clover on a sata ssd or hdd. No need to boot from flash drive at all. I boot clover with grub from a sata ssd. If an especific NVME can use both sata and nvme protocol, the bios should be able to boot without clover, but that's not usual. Can I help you any further? If you can, please hit the like button and subscribe. Thanks.
@@tuxhardware Why is the Samsung 850 pro NVMe able to boot without clover on older machines? All I would like to do is somehow bypass this clover screen after restart, or automatically select the drive.
@@anthonycasalena3828 I didn't find anything about Samsung 850 pro and I don't have one to test it. Can you send the link of this nvme boot? But, like I said, if this ssd can use the SATA protocol, the old motherboard can "talk" to it. About Clover boot, you can bypass the clover screen.

Hey man, great video! ❤ I just have one question, will installing the boot info on a sata drive allow me to just turn on my pc and have it automatically go to boot up windows? Or will I always have the clover boot screen show up and have to select the boot option? 😢

es mas veloz el inicio de windows haciendo boot o con un hdd?, y tengo otra duda, pedirá siempre seleccionar la opción de windows al prender la pc?. buenisimo video master
Greetings. It's faster boot from ssd than from hdd. But you need to boot clover from a sata hdd/ssd or flash drive if your motherboard doesn't have nvme driver.

@@tuxhardware en mi placa m5a78l-m usb3 es compatible esta opción?, estoy esperando que llegue mi m.2 y pienso instalar windows en el
@@vicentedasilva-tj1cx Desculpe o atraso. Vou responder em português. Acho que fica mais fácil para entender e usar o tradutor do Google. Pelo que vi do manual, sua placa utiliza legacy bios (dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM3+/M5A78L-M_PLUS_USB3/E11584_M5A78L-M_PLUS_USB3_UM_WEB_only.pdf?model=M5A78L-M%20PLUS/USB3).

I have a question, is there a way to keep that option permanently? in Windows so that it continues to start from the NVrem without the need for the CLOVER usb and without the other hard drive?
Greetings and thanks for subscribe. As far as I know, you will need at least one bootable drive. You can't start Clover if it is installed on the NVME SSD, just because the BIOS firmware can't read anything there.
loaded clover on a usb, copied driver to appropriate sub directory. at boot can switch to bios to select a boot drive. select usb and get the clover menu. my nvme drive is visible on clover menu. I select nvme but then i just get black screen and it freezes there. I have cloned the OS from C: to nvme, so it should be same as C:. the nvme is visible in explorer and in disk manager. Any idea what the problem is? thnx
Greetings, D Agee. Thanks for your comment. Another viewer had a similar issue. The problem was the cloned Windows. When he performed a clean install, solved the issue. If it's possible, help the channel. Subscribe and hit the like button.
You cannot finish fresh install on nvme as windows restarts but then is not booting from nvme. That is why we need clover and that is why he cloned windows to have finished installed one on nvme drive. Otherwise no need for Clover. My problem is that I never got clover working booting it from USB pendrive. Just freezing after logo. So no clover menu appears to chose anything.

I will take a look at it. Maybe it takes a couple of weeks. But I will reply.
Does the usb drive have to be plugged in every time you want to boot from the nvme or only the first time?
Greetings. If you install clover on the usb flash drive, it has to be plugged in every time you want to boot from the nvme ssd. The same procedure can be done on a sata HDD/SSD. If you do so, there is no need of external flash drive. But you need one drive out of the nvme every time. If you can, hit the like button and subscribe the channel.
@@tuxhardware Does the PI+ pcie x1 m.2 nvme expansion adapter supports windows 11?
@@redmachine3700 Greetings. The PCIe adapter supports Win11. But the right question is, Does Win11 support your Motherboard? If you can, please subscribe and hit the like button.
Thanks for interesting video. I have a question. Do most Linux OS support the "NVME to PCIE Adapter card" and able to recognize a NVME SSD connected to it either as a "bootable drive" and/or a simple "storage drive"? Or is there extra steps I need to do? Example: Is there special unofficial driver I need to download and install before the NVME SSD is recognized by the Linux OS?
Greetings and thanks for your comment. As far as I know, most Linux Kernel have the drivers to "talk" to the adapter, but I can't guarantee. If your Linux distro is up to date, it will recognize the SSD. I have several adapters, and never have any issues with POP OS, Arch and Solus. The "bootable drive" thing is different. Linux Boot loader doesn't have, on it's own, NVME support. It relies on motherboard firmware to complete the boot. If your motherboard doesn't have it, no boot. even if you add a grub entry, it will "talk" to the NVME SSD. If you can help the channel, please subscribe and hit the like button.

OS already install on NVME? or we can install OS when booting with Clover?
Greetings, David, thanks for your comment. Either way is possible. My videos are about real issues I have to face. I already had an nvme ssd with a legit installation of Windows 10 that came with a mini pc. But I had no need of Windows on that machine.

Did usb with rufus on Windows. Never got into Clover. As you suggest non bootable format is not surprising. The config.plist file has a link to DTD. However no internet yet during boot. So it is frozen after logo of the machine. If you make the copy of the nvme driver you suggest before formatting with rufus as bootable still no success. Frozen again. Clover seems to be a fake no way to start it from pendrive.
Greetings, Bakos. I am sorry that you couldn't boot Clover. But I haven't understood what you have done. If you think this video doesn't work, that it’s a fake video, don't waste your time trying to get it done. Buy a modern mobo and go on. Thanks for your comment.
I have UEFI BIOS machines wuth Windows 10 environment only.
Just like to have an external USB pendrive to boot Clover to see the clover menu and then select Windows 10 cloned onto the internal SSD drive in the same machine.
I do not need Hackintosh, Linux etc.
It seems simple, but as I mentioned, never had successful boot from pendrive to see clover menu. A simple step-by-step description would be appreciated.
@@sandorbakos3157 The step-by-step description is the video itself.

@@tuxhardware Awesome! I'm also progressing, just found out, as you write, that I can use 3rd party bootloader like Clover or rEFInd (The amount of knowledge and software Rod W. Smith provides is incredible, truly a giga chad), so I'm working my way through them.
Also found out that I luckily picked samsung 950 Pro which has some "option ROM" feature, that should enable booting in legacy even without using Clover etc. We will see how that goes.
@@tomasjedlicka7102 Some Samsung NVME SSDs have a firmware that "talks" to the legacy Bios firmware without the nvme protocol, doing basically the same that clover does.
Hi mate
Your video is easy to understand
I have few question regarding this before starting for real
I got laptop, i bought it at 2014, Acer E5 471G
I will rid of my wifi card that use mini pcie, using new adapter mpcie to m2 nvme, use usb dongle as my internet solution
Gonna buy Kingston Nv1 NVME 1TB
I know the speed only pcie 2.0x 1, i would not receive the full speed
First question is it possible?
Second its how do you install windows on your nvme? Do you install it before install clover or after clover?
Greetings and thanks for subscribing. Cound't find the service manual. So, I can not be more accurate. First question answer: In theory, it is possible. But, the space for the adapter and the SSD must be considered. I can't assure it will fit. If it fits, then you must see how to prevent any loose connections, since you maybe can't pin the ssd. (I am not sure if this make sense in english language). Second question answer: You can boot with windows installer. When the system asks to restart the first time, insert clover stick, boot Clover and then, windows, to resume the installation. Test clover usb stick before install windows. Any doubts, post here. Best regards.

I'm using the same motherboard (P8H77_V LE) Can you share the bios you modded so that I can use NVME m2?
Greetings. I'm not sure if I correctly understood the question. The Bios version is the latest available by ASUS. But that's not relevant. Even the latest doesn't have nvme driver.

i cant understand u,, u did 2 times edit on that text and many times changed things on usb, i have everything, but pc is not saving the boot, so i have to start with usb, if i take off usb pc go off, so how to install the boot to the windows and not use all time with usb
My friend, you still haven't told what you have done. Say that you have done everything is useless. Start telling your hardware. Then, what system you have installed before your changes.
Hey i hadn't considered putting Clover or the closely related rEFInd on a USB drive. That may just be very useful.
Is there any other ways to add an NVMe boot Option ROM that would chain to the BIOS in a PC? It stands to reason that there should be possible to manufacture an NVMe adapter card which is also a Boot Option ROM. Remember when you installed an Adaptec or whatever IDE/SCSI/SATA card in your PC, it came with a ROM chip that attached to your BIOS and allowed booting from the card. Or even Ethernet cards with a ROM Chip also Boot Option ROM to allow PXE Boot. Remember?
Greetings, Siana. There are a few more ways to boot an NVME SSD on mobos without firmware support. This one in the video is the easiest by far. I intend to bring more content like this in a near future. But right now, I have over 100 videos in different editing stages that I need to finish before go on. Samsung already has NVME SSDs that operates both SATA and NVME protocols. When you attached to an old mobo, the SSD controller talks to the mobo with sata protocol. After boot process, it starts NVME protocol. If it's possible, help the channel. Subscribe and hit the like button.

@@RoniAlush Sorry about the delay. You can try, but I don't think it will work. If your board has CSM, you can boot the MBR disk. But I don't think it will fix our issue. I hope I am wrong.

@@tuxhardware Windows was on sata ssd, now it is booting from nvme through clover, but even though this is uefi boot, it shows windows default logo rather than ASUS logo
@@What00054 Greetings. When the motherboard firmware boots Windows directly, you will see the Asus logo. When booting Windows from nvme ssd, motherboard firmware boots Clover and Clover boots Windows, just like it is on the video. There is no Asus logo on my screen because Asus is no longer commanding the process. If you can, please subscribe and hit the like button.
1.All is done as u said, but screen resolution not change, plz help,
2. Do ve have to use clover pendrive always??
Greetings, the easiest first.
2. You will always need a device to host clover. Can be a pen drive or sata HDD/SSD.
1. Can you post the part of the config file with the screen configuration? Also, your monitor and the cable you are using must support the resolution you are setting. As well your GPU.
Hello, I managed to get it to boot from NVME, following your guide. The board is an ASUS MAXIMUS Vgene. The problem is that if the PC is disconnected from the power, the Bios is deprogrammed and I must configure the CSM and SECURE BOOT again. any advice ? THANK YOU

@@gadi70 Greetings, gadi70. I thought about the exact same thing more than a year ago. You have a valid point of view, let me tell you mine. I believe in fair trades and exchanges. There are people who won't subscribe or like the video even if you spend your time helping them to solve their issues. This doesn't look fair to me. When I spend my time helping viewers, I am not doing other things, like studying, cleaning the house or making new videos. I have lots of things to do, youtube is not my work. But I feel bad when I help a viewer and he not even like the video, which has happened dozens of times. Here in Brazil, popular culture created a concept called "lei de Gerson" (Gerson's law). In english, it would be something like a person who gains advantages indiscriminately, without caring about ethical or moral issues. So, I prefer not gain new subscribers, then help people who act like this.
Does it mean you always need a flash drive and clover to booth windows from nwme pcie adapter??
No, If your mother board firmware has nvme driver or you have a SSD with opROM, you can boot windows from PCIe. I do it on another machine. For this video example, you do need Clover or other software to boot Windows. But you don't need a flash drive. If you have a sata SSD/HDD on your machine, you can do the same that was done on the flash drive. Watch this video (ruclips.net/video/FchsGIpP6vk/видео.html).

Hello - I have tried this. PC boots in to clover no problem but when I select the windows drive it doesn't load (just shows black screen with flashing cursor). Does the windows boot drive need to be configured a specific way?
Greetings, Jay. First of all, I will ask you to subscribe the channel. About your issue, If Clover has booted, then it's working just fine. I believe the problem is your windows installation. Can you tell me more about your mobo and GPU and how did you install windows?
@@tuxhardware thanks for the response, sub'd now. Motherboard is an intel dd77mk, i7 3rd gen processor & a 1660ti. Windows was installed via a bootable usb I flashed. I think issue is that the nvme drive is too big to be formatted as fat32 but to do this method you need it to be fat32 - is that correct?
Thanks for your support. The mobo is dd77mk or dq77mk? The clover boot is not related to windows installation. Windows file system is NTFS. Did you install windows directly on the NVME SSD or it was cloned? Can make a video of the boot process, clover and windows? Send it to my email tux.hardware.br@gmail.com.
@@tuxhardware hello, managed to get it working now, mainly through trial and error. Think the drive wasn't partioned as a gpt drive originally. Also disabled legacy boot on the bios, don't know if that helped or not. Trying to boot clover from internal sata drive now to free up the usb slot. Not having much luck so going to play about with it some more.
@@jaygranttaylor Jay, if you manage to boot from the flash drive, boot from sata drive should be the same. Which part did you get stuck?
Hi Bro.
I have a problem booting on pcie adaper. no boot on bios. Can i follow your video? i mean it surely works? Thank you
Greetings. If you install Clover on a flash drive, you will configure your bios to boot from usb port. If you install it on an sata HDD/SSD, you will configure your bios to boot from sata port. "Surely works" is nothing I can't say about anything in life. You just said your mobo has a problem. Does it affect only the PCIe boot? I don't know. If it's possible, help the channel.

Greetings, Gianluca. Thanks for your comment. I am sorry it didn't work. There can be many reasons why you couldn't make it work. You mobo may not have UEFI, your Windows was incorrectly cloned/installed, and so on.
Amigo tenho mesma placa mãe asus o que você modificou na configuração bios para aceitar NVME M2 para ser reconhecido?

Hello, the program does not load only with my nvme without the original disk, solution?
Greetings, english is not my native language. Therefore, I am not sure what you meant. If you are saying that, without the Clover disk you can't boot the operating system, there is nothing wrong. It has been said, on the video (ruclips.net/video/FnE9SeLZLRc/видео.html), that a drive is needed.
@@tuxhardware Thank you, I am using the translator, I am Argentine and it took me a while to understand it
what it refers to is that my hdd disk has to be in place to be able to start windows, using clover I can't start only with my nvme on pcie

Salve Evandro. Eu tenho um projeto similar ainda em fase de planejamento para uma abit i-45cv. Pelo método do vídeo, vc sempre vai precisar de uma unidade de armazenamento que possa ser lida pela bios. O pen drive é o mais fácil. Pode também fazer via sata, mas não sei vc terá algum slot dele sobrando para o seu projeto.

@@michaelsiregar8717 Michael, English is not my native language. I didn't understand this part "as long safe until now, is nvme adapter still safe". NVMe SSD will only work on your motherboard with an adapter. If you have a graphics card, the x16 PCIe and first x1 PCIe slots will be unavailable. The NVMe adapter must fit the second x1 slot.

Greetings Niemand and thanks for your support. This error is usually related to legacy bios. Can you confirm if your motherboard has legacy or UEFI bios? The procedure in the video is for UEFI only. I will have a video about legacy mode anytime soon. Just check if the board is legacy or UEFI.
@@tuxhardware the board supports both. I tried to boot with the bios setting „UEFI BOOT ONLY“ and it worked thanks.
Did you pick the right clover file?
Send to my email the clover file you used.
Didn't read the final part of the phrase. You are welcome.
Can I use any kind of nvme ssd for this?

@@tuxhardware Thanks for the reply. I recently tried to boot windows from Teamgroup mp33 nvme and it did worked. But the problem now is that Clover cannot detect it. However, if I boot from my SATA ssd first, the windows's grub can detect it and boot the nvme. So for now I cannot remove my SATA ssd.
@@streyngthz If it is not too much trouble, can you describe the situation a little bit more? You have a machine with one sata and one nvme SSDs. Grub is on the sata SSD, correct? Which system is installed on the NVME?
@@tuxhardware Oh, nevermind. I already solved the issue. When I installed a new windows to my NVME, my SATA ssd was still plugged in, and the EFI (I just learned about this) was located in the SATA ssd. So the Windows installer thought that addding a new EFI partition in the NVME is not needed. To boot, my computer needs to read the EFI first, which was not present in my NVME. After knowing about this, I reinstall the Windows without the SATA ssd plugged in, and Windows automatically made a EFI partition in NVME. I'm so happy right now. I appreciate all your help.
@@streyngthz Thanks. I will try to replicate it in the future.
It is way too fast. Even if i try to pause the video it is hard to view and read everything 😥

Greetings Nitin Kumar. It's kind of hard to find your motherboard manual. If the board has UEFI bios, just follow the video. If it has legacy bios, I will have a video about it anytime soon. Have you try the procedure shown in the video?
How do you call the video for old motherboards and then in the video say for uefi bios only??? Clickbait…
Dear Matthew, the mobo from this video was manufactured around 2012. It has more than 10 years. From my point of view, it is an old motherboard. If you don’t think that way, it’s your point of view. Also, I never said on every old motherboard. There is a limited number of words that can be placed (thumbnail and title). Right in the beginning, I say it’s for UEFI only. Please, don't waste my time, I am a very busy man. If you think this is a “Clickbait” video, just report it to RUclips.
@@tuxhardware Ok, so at the start of the video you mention it’s for uefi boards…NOWHERE in your title or description do you mention uefi….But make excuses that you don’t have any room, even though you have more than enough to fit one little word….And while you’re at it…look up clickbait in the dictionary…
