    1x NVMe M.2 SSD by PCIe Gen3 X4 / SATA-SSD Combo.
    Both signal types are supported.

    Yes, you can.
    It's PCIe signal-based.

    Hi Kevin
    That's me installed another 8gb ddr4 and my Samsung 512gb 950 pro but it's not showing in the bios although it's working as my boot drive with a fresh install of win 10 any idea why?

    Because it's NVMe, therefore it's not shown.

    To expand on what Kevin said: The drive functions just fine on a hardware level, and it's normal for it to not be displayed in the BIOS setup utility; something to do with a hardware ID, or something to that effect (or so I've been told).

    Check your Boot device menu, you can see the Windows Boot Manager most likely.
