Can HP Prodesk 490 G3 boot from an NVMe HDD ?

[maljane]

Hello everyone.
I will receive my new computer "HP Prodesk 490 G3" next month, and I would like to know if this computer can boot from an NVMe hard drive? because I already have a Samsung SSD 970 EVO M.2 PCIe NVMe hard drive mounted on a PCIe expansion card.

Can this computer model boot from a PCIe nvme drive?
Thank you

@maljane , welcome back to the forum.

Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide for the computer:  http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04887112

This document is dated 2015.  Are you certain that your new computer is a PD 490 G3?  If you look at Page 14, "Drives", there is a list of compatible SSD's.  As you will see, it lists NVMe drives.  I can't find any information on M.2 drives.

@old_geekster Thanks for the reply.

and I would like to use Samsung 970 EVO Plus and this PCIe to NVMe adapter 

in this manuel: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04887112 

I can see that the computer is compatible with NVMe disks on PCIe but I don't know if I can use it for booting the computer

Thank you for the additional information, @maljane!

Since we know that NVMe is compatible with the motherboard, you should be able to use it as a boot drive without any problems.
