HP Recommended
Product: elite 8200
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I would like to install a PCIE NVME card with Samsung 970 pro SSD. I just want to know if the system will boot to it? I have read through lots of posts but nobody has a definitive answer. I know the system is old but I am poor and want to get another year or two out of it!

I know that PCIE is v2.0 so I will not quite get the full speed out of the NVME SSD but hey, it'll still be a lot faster than SATA.

If I can't boot to it can I leave the EFI boot partition on my current SATA SSD and install windows onto the NVME SSD?

Thanks in Advance.
