    Hello everyone,

    today I've got a Samsung 960 pro M.2 NVMe ssd drive, since I knew that my Clevo P770ZM-G had an NVMe M.2 slot, but the problem is that it won't be recognized in the bios and, even though I was able to install Windows 10 on it, it still wouldn't boot.
    Is there any way I can make it work, or is this ssd just not compatible?

    Thank you.

    Yes, I think you're right, but it looks like Prema's website has gone offline and the bios files cannot be downloaded anymore. I'm not really sure what happened there.
    I just wish there were another way to make it work. It seems such a shame that a laptop coming with a nvme slot isn't actually able to let me boot windows from it.

    In short we was cheated by some guys who tried to reverse engineer his work.

    Try to contact him maybe he will help you.

    NVMe and m.2 are not synonymous no, an 860 pro may be a better choice.

    But that's a sata drive, no? And I already have an 850 evo.
    I bought the 960 pro becauses I knew there are many other people who have managed to make it work on the very same laptop I have.

    I assume since buying the pro you intend to do some heavier tasks with it but otherwise another 850 evo in raid with your current one is far more cost effective.

    Hi all, how would I get my hands on the Prema BIOS v2 for a P750ZM. Like many others I'm stuck with a NVMe drive that I cannot boot from. I appreciate any help.

    Any chance you can return it and go for the new 860 EVO instead?
