I decided to buy Samsung SM-951 m.2 256gb and PCI-e adapter.
I have H87M Pro4 Motherboard

So i was wondering is it possible to install Windows 7,8 or 10.
On install choosing the partition it says:

"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."

Installing Windows 10 goes normally tho', until I reboot. I am getting error 0xc000000e

If it is possible to get my OS to work on this device can someone help ? :)

I have the latest firmware updates. Downloaded from BIOS.

What i seemed to do wrong was that i wasn't booting USB install in UEFI mode but I did it now.

Then it started whinning about some GPT partititon table so I fixed that by converting the disk into GPT.

Now it doesn't even regognize it as bootable device.

Do i need to also boot disk in UEFI mode or what? :(

Do I need this kind of option in BIOS to boot from that device?

Boot from PCI-E/PCI Expansion Devices: UEFI Driver First

Because my BIOS doesn't have one.
So my motherboard isn't compatible booting from this device?

I used "Internet Flash - DHCP (Auto IP), Europe" option under Tool tab and installed something so I was thinking it gave me latest BIOS. But at the moment under CSM it looks like this.
