You can actually boot any NVME SSD on any computer, as long as it got PCIE slot.

NVME SSDs use the PCIe bus (similar to the GPU graphics card). The PCIe bus has very good backward compatibility, so NVME SSDs should, in theory, be easily compatible with hardware. However, software compatibility is still an issue. The first step to using an NVME SSD is for the software environment to "see" it.

Windows 10 has NVME drivers by default. Windows 10 will always "see" the NVME SSD, no matter what machine it is running on (Windows 8.1 with later service packs also has this). So if you can get into the Windows 10 environment, the NVME SSD will be detected and can operate normally.

However, before booting into Windows, in the BIOS environment, only newer machines with NVME support have the ability to "see" the NVME SSD.

In summary, if a machine does not support NVME, plugging an NVME SSD via a PCIe adapter will not be able to boot into the Windows partition on that SSD because the BIOS cannot "see" the NVME SSD. It will not be able to see the Windows partition to boot. However, if you are already in Windows 10 (booted from another hard drive, for example), then you can use the NVME SSD because Windows 10 "sees" it.

The exception is some special NVME SSDs, usually older high-end models (such as the Samsung 950 Pro), which have a Legacy OpRom. When you plug in the adapter to any machine, it is recognized, fully supported, and can boot into Windows without any modification. Even the Pentium socket 478 can recognize it as long as it has a PCIe slot.

Preparation:
- Full tool file, download at (Google Drive): NVME Legacy.zip
- Windows 10 ISO file for installation. Windows 10 is recommended. You can also use Windows 7 but will need to load the NVME driver for it, more cumbersome
- Any NVME SSD and NVME to PCIE Adapter , it is recommended to use PCIE X4 or higher to ensure speed
- 1 USB 8GB or more to install Windows
- 1 Any USB to boot Clover (SATA hard drive can also be used)
- 1 Computer running any Windows
- Text editing software like Notepad++ or VS Code to make it easier to manipulate than normal Notepad
