Nov 05, 2015 a UEFI BIOS that supports boot from NVMe (not something you can assume) (on this system's X10SDV-TLN4F motherboard, BIOS 1.0a or 1.0b both allow boot from NVMe) an M.2 PCI-E x4 slot (as in 4 lanes, key to obtaining the maximum speeds). That is entirely down to UEFI. support, and any OROM present on the device you're trying to boot. An adaptor will not magically allow you to boot an NVMe SSD on a system without NVMe support in UEFI, and any PCIe-to-M.2 adaptor will allow you to boot on a system with NVMe support. It is simply a passive electrical adaptor.

Can I clone or upgrade UEFI (GPT) disk to an SSD disk
'Hi there, do you know how to clone a UEFI disk to an SSD drive? I bought an SSD drive last week, and my friend told me that SSD works faster and more stable than an ordinary old HDD.
So I want to replace the UEFI boot drive on my Windows 10 laptop to an SSD drive without any boot errors or problems.
The problem is that I don’t want to waste my time reinstalling a new Windows System on the SSD disk and moving files to the disk by copying and pasting one by one.
I’m thinking that maybe I can clone the UEFI disk to the SSD together with the OS, right? Is it possible for me to clone the UEFI (which also shows as GPT) disk on my computer to the new SSD? And how?'
