How to Install a NVMe SSD Into Any PC Without an M.2 Slot

- In this video I will show you how to install an NVMe SSD into a computer that does not have an M.2 Socket/Slot. We will use an NVMe to PCIe adapter to do this. This is a great way to speed up an older computer. This video will also cover how to boot into this SSD if your computer does not support booting to PCIe drives.

Hell yeah the howtoguy back at with another tutorial 💪
Great video, I have an old HP 8300 SFF and an NVME drive from a previous upgrade lying around, definitely going to try this. I´m going to see if I can install Clover on a SATA SSD instead of a USB thumb drive tho, which then I can use as extra storage whilst getting rid of the error and the extra drive.
Thanks.
Great video, you forgot one thing. You have to disable secure boot in bios , otherwise clover won,t boot Windows from her bootloader. If you use the Boot utility disk software you only have to click on format and the software does the rest for you beside copy and paste the drivers you need. In that case You dont have to use rufus.
If someone is considering one of these cards that can take 2 or more NVMe drives, they need to be very sure that their motherboard is capable of bifurcation of the PCIe slot. If not, then to use a card with more than one drive will require a much more expensive card with bifurcation built in. And Clover is awesome.
You also can configure the plist file in clover to speed up 5seconds waiting time till 1 second and last one , with partitition tools you can hide the usb station in my computer
Please explain my friend
I have m.2 slot in my motherboard but still i am watching your video 😂
love from india 🙏
It means your address jobless and have time to waste
Thanks bhai for your knowledge and time, is it safe and durable??
Bro I have followed all the steps but, I get out off range screen, after setting the USB as the 1st priority in bois
Hey, you're saving Christmas this year, it worked after 8h straight trying to figure out what to do. Ive got one last question, can i remove the USB device v´from my PC or do I have to leave it there forever?
Happy Christmas yall
You must leave the USB in your computer at all times in order to boot to your SSD
I have an old hp xeon workstation with win 10 but going to install a custom rom win 11 to be able to use win 11 and future proof the old system som my question is , will this work even on win 11 since you're using win 10 on yours ? 🙏🏻
Thanks for your video. I did everything in the video but I still have a problem. My computers loads 10 minutes. There is a black screen, monitor seems like it has nosignal, usb ports don't work for mobile charging. I tried to restart it many times but it's still the same. Do you know what can be the problem?

I want to boot from my data ssd but still be able to see my m.2 drive how do I do it?
Genuine Question:
I want to boot windows from my M.2 SATA SSD not NVMe SSD. I've tried every single step mentioned but couldn't boot from it (M.2 SATA not NVMe)
Any suggestions?
You'll need a SATA M.2 to SATA adapter. Once connected, your BIOS should recognize it and will boot into it without the need for clover.
Ok.. but I've got this 0:12 adapter and I want to boot my drive from it.. Is there any tweak/method/fix to do so..?
@@shyamyenagandula2178Nope. This adapter will never work. NVMe M.2 SSDs run of PCIe. SATA M.2 SSDs use SATA. So connecting a SATA SSD into a PCIe slot using that adapter will never work.
@@TheHowToGuy123 Oh, now I got the idea. Thanks 🙏
is there any card that can do what is shown above in the RAM SLOT???
What do you mean in the ram slot? You mean pcie slot?
Older motherboards do not boot from NVME. You need to add some code to uefi bios.
Will this affect performance since it’s using an adapter???
Yes it will but it will still be better than a sata ssd or hdd
How do u install if u have a graphics card like rtx 3060
You would put the card an available PCIe slot.
does the speed get affected if i chose 4 pcie than 16 pcie?
Maybe Because If You Use RTX 2060 Super GPU . Than Speed Also Decreese Its Called Bottle Neck , RTX 2060 SUPER 8 GB Card New Card Required 16 Pins PCIe Slot
@@MSalmanAlvi i have a x16 (x4) pcie slot since in the future i will have a gpu in my x16 so i did some intense research and found out if i put the nvme in thr x16 (x4) the speed will half but faster than ssd and hdd
@@MSalmanAlvi Btw do you know how i can boot into my nvme without clover usb bootable always in my usb port? chatgpt says i should make another partition where i can copy clover bootable folder and files onto that and configure it but i have no knowledge how to do it
as far as I know, nvme drive on pcie can only utilize 4 lanes so no need to plug it to 16 lanes slot. correct me if I'm wrong
Im disabled gpu for my monitor is black.How to fix it? Can you help me?
Hey Kyle I thout that to be a graphic slot
A PCIe slot can be used for any PCIe device. A graphics card is the most common card that goes in a PCIe slot. Generally motherboards have more than one PCIe slot, so a graphics card will go in the top most slot and this SSD adapter would go in the second PCIe slot.
@@TheHowToGuy123 I did not know that. Thank you for the education. So cool!
dude that MB had 2 by 4 slots yhy you waste a x16 slot ? check if your cpus supports nvme cause els those will run at sata speeds.
Those are x1 slots. The adapter won't fit in those. This computer is from 2012, and was merely used as an example. I will never use the PCIe x16 slot on this machine for anything else.
@@TheHowToGuy123 y would do diffrent if you have the x 1slots you could add 2 disks in 2 cards MZHOU M.2 SSD M-Key NVME PCIe 3.0 x1 Card Adapter with Low and Full Mount - Supports M.2 PCIe 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 or if you have empty ram slots Zerthaus DDR3 DDR4 DDR2 to M2 SSD Adapter M.2 NGFF B Key Riser Card SATA 15Pin Power + SATA 7Pin Data Port Support 2242 M.2 SSD for the x16 y would go for
HighPoint SSD7540 PCIe 4.0 x16 8-Channel the gpu will go for a E-gpu setup where the is another way to add storage your solution is wasting lanes useless you will use max x4 anyway the rest are gone in nirvana
@@adriancoanda9227 sound interesting. but any PC comes with SATA, why don't use a sata drive instead since no performance difference? only pcie 4x or 16x can max out the potential of a nvme drive.
@@kwonpv all nvme drives are 4x4lanes the speeds are in the controller and nanad chips in 16 cpu lanes you can install 4 Nvme drives if your cpu supports it if not it needs a special chip and no not all comes with Sata connector because it is legacy nvme its a bus mostly for mobile and server where space is critical, and not all motherboards have the x16 slot wired for x16 it is by 8
lol buying no name pc parts…… sounds safe as fuck 😂
you mean ugreen? theyre legit tho
