Product: HP EliteDesk 705 G2 Small Form Factor PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a HP EliteDesk 705 G2 Small Form Factor PC. I want to use a NVME M.2 SSD as a bootable drive using a PCIe SSD Adaptor. Is it possible???  As I found  the bios update information on this page https://support.hp.com/ie-en/document/c05076938 where its clearly mentioned that "

  • Fixed NVMe Boot Priority to allow image to be installed on the NVMe device" 
  • REASON FOR CHANGE
  • NVMe Boot Priority

kindly help me. 

Kindly anyone answer.

Of course it is possible.

 

All you need to do is install a bootable OS on the M.2 SSD, plug it into an available USB port and boot to it.

 

This is not an enthusiast or OS forum that provides information on how to do that but there are many that do.

 

It is even simpler to install a bootable OS to a USB flash drive.

 

I have been doing that for many years.
