Given the date of your post, I would have expected someone to respond to it before this -- but since that has not happened, I will take a shot at it ...
Probably will not work -- as I have tried this myself.
While an adapter card will allow the use of an NVMe SSD, in order to boot from it, two things must be true:
1) PC firmware must support booting in native UEFI mode
2) Windows must be running in UEFI mode, not BIOS (or legacy) mode
So, you have to go into BIOS/UEFI settings (using F10) and confirm your PC is running in UEFI mode -- not Legacy or CSM.

The firmware version does not tell me anything.
What you need to determine is if the firmware supports booting from an NVMe drive.
While Windows 10 does come with NVMe drivers, those are only used AFTER the PC boots completely into Windows.
