Product: HP Pavilion Desktop - 550-027c
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Installed a PCIx1 card with a NVMe M.2 SSD drive 1TB. I was able to clone my SATA hard drive and it is recognized in windows 10 as a via drive.
Now I want to boot from the PCIx1 card but not sure how to arrange the bios to do so. I am not even sure if this is possible with this model desktop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It has to show up in the bios. Go into the bios and look under boot order for your 1tb drive.
Possibly you may have to enable legacy boot (or disable secure boot) before it shows up.
