Hi,
I'm trying to install a Hackintosh on my HP Pavilon Laptop PC 14-dv0000 with a bootable USB key.
I can boot the key, but to install MacOS on the disk i need to change it from NVMe to AHCI as i see, but i dont have this option in the BIOS.

Hi:
Unfortunately, that is not possible.
NVMe SSD's do not use the AHCI storage controller.
They use a separate NVMe storage controller so even if you could change the setting to AHCI, that would only work if your notebook had a SATA drive installed.

You're very welcome.
Unfortunately, I don't but the problem is most likely due to the notebook having an Intel 11th generation or newer core processor.
Even Windows cannot find the drive when you go to install it and the solution is to install the storage controller drivers during the Windows setup phase when Windows reports that it cannot find the drive.
I recommend you visit a Hackintosh forum and find out what the solution is for resolving the problem, because hopefully someone has figured that out by now since these processors have been available for a few years.
It is amazing that even Microsoft has not yet included these storage controller drivers in their installation media.
If you want to take a look inside the Intel files I have zipped it up and attached it below.
