How to Install a NVMe SSD Into Any PC Without an M.2 Slot

In this video I will show you how to install an NVMe SSD into a computer that does not have an M.2 Socket/Slot. We will use an NVMe to PCIe adapter to do this. This is a great way to speed up an older computer. This video will also cover how to boot into this SSD if your computer does not support booting to PCIe drives.

Bro I have followed all the steps but, I get out off range screen, after setting the USB as the 1st priority in bois

Great video, you forgot one thing. You have to disable secure boot in bios , otherwise clover won,t boot Windows from her bootloader. If you use the Boot utility disk software you only have to click on format and the software does the rest for you beside copy and paste the drivers you need. In that case You dont have to use rufus.

Great video, I have an old HP 8300 SFF and an NVME drive from a previous upgrade lying around, definitely going to try this. I´m going to see if I can install Clover on a SATA SSD instead of a USB thumb drive tho, which then I can use as extra storage whilst getting rid of the error and the extra drive.

If someone is considering one of these cards that can take 2 or more NVMe drives, they need to be very sure that their motherboard is capable of bifurcation of the PCIe slot. If not, then to use a card with more than one drive will require a much more expensive card with bifurcation built in. And Clover is awesome.

Hey, you're saving Christmas this year, it worked after 8h straight trying to figure out what to do. Ive got one last question, can i remove the USB device v´from my PC or do I have to leave it there forever? Happy Christmas yall

You must leave the USB in your computer at all times in order to boot to your SSD

You also can configure the plist file in clover to speed up 5seconds waiting time till 1 second and last one , with partitition tools you can hide the usb station in my computer

Thanks for your video. I did everything in the video but I still have a problem. My computers loads 10 minutes. There is a black screen, monitor seems like it has nosignal, usb ports don't work for mobile charging. I tried to restart it many times but it's still the same. Do you know what can be the problem?

Genuine Question: I want to boot windows from my M.2 SATA SSD not NVMe SSD. I've tried every single step mentioned but couldn't boot from it (M.2 SATA not NVMe) Any suggestions?

@TheHowToGuy123 4 ай бұрын

You'll need a SATA M.2 to SATA adapter. Once connected, your BIOS should recognize it and will boot into it without the need for clover.

Ok.. but I've got this 0:12 adapter and I want to boot my drive from it.. Is there any tweak/method/fix to do so..?

@TheHowToGuy123 4 ай бұрын

@@shyamyenagandula2178Nope. This adapter will never work. NVMe M.2 SSDs run of PCIe. SATA M.2 SSDs use SATA. So connecting a SATA SSD into a PCIe slot using that adapter will never work.

@TheHowToGuy123 Ай бұрын

A PCIe slot can be used for any PCIe device. A graphics card is the most common card that goes in a PCIe slot. Generally motherboards have more than one PCIe slot, so a graphics card will go in the top most slot and this SSD adapter would go in the second PCIe slot.

dude that MB had 2 by 4 slots yhy you waste a x16 slot ? check if your cpus supports nvme cause els those will run at sata speeds.

Those are x1 slots. The adapter won't fit in those. This computer is from 2012, and was merely used as an example. I will never use the PCIe x16 slot on this machine for anything else.

@@kwonpv all nvme drives are 4x4lanes the speeds are in the controller and nanad chips in 16 cpu lanes you can install 4 Nvme drives if your cpu supports it if not it needs a special chip and no not all comes with Sata connector because it is legacy nvme its a bus mostly for mobile and server where space is critical, and not all motherboards have the x16 slot wired for x16 it is by 8
