HP Recommended
Product: HP Desktop M01-F1024
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Just purchased this desktop from Best Buy and noticed that the PCIe transfer mode is set to 2x rather than 4x which is what the NVMe drive is rated for. I have tried the 256GB drive which came in this PC and another 1GB drive in my laptop and both perform at 4x speed as they are both NVMe Gen 3 x 4x drives but in this PC, both run at 2x.

The bios being so locked down doesn't allow me to change settings that might cure this. I installed a new bios today (from HP) and still operating at 2x.

Is this something that be fixed? I have tried everything I can think of in the operating system, like power settings to no avail.

Surely, the hardware in this PC supports the faster transfer protocol.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
