HP Recommended
Product: HP Pavilion 590 (Desktop)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a 2018 HP Pavilion 590 desktop. No Optane. Installed a Samsung 970 Evo Plus SSD (NVME) in the M2 port (there is only the one). Drive is recognized as storage in Bios and in File Manager. Has a drive letter (M:). Cloned C: drive (all of it) onto the SSD. Went into BIOS to set boot order and cannot see the SSD to select it. Upgraded BIOS to latest version. Booted with the HDD disconnected. Nothing is working. Working hypothesis is that this Motherboard/BIOS will not boot from M2 slot - that it is provisioned solely for models with Optane. Would love to use the SSD as a boot drive and host OS and apps there to speed things up. Any help is appreciated.
