hello guys am looking someone who can help me to put NVMe support to my motherboard Gigabyte Z77X‑UP5 TH. I have tried several trhings with addding NVMe with UEFITool to the bios file and flashing it but i cant get it to work. I want to put in work WD Black 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD. When i boot windows from usb i see the drive and when i install windows on another hard drive i can make partition from this WD Black 512gb of space but my bios does not recognize the ssd. So am looking for solution how to make this WD Black drive bootable with my main OS.

I was able to get my z77x-up5th working and was able to install windows 7 x64 on it as well. I used a modified bios file, injected 2 windows updates into the windows 7 install disc and used a driver file to load a driver for the drive during the installation process because windows 7 needs it to find the disc and to be able to boot to the drive. I am using a Plextor M8pe Nvme drive in the 2nd video card slot. If you need any more info let me know.

Gigabyte didn't start offering NVMe storage support until it provided BIOS updates for most of its Intel Series 9 Chipset motherboards such as Z97 models. There is no BIOS support for NVMe storage from Gigabyte for legacy Series 7 Chipset Z77 models. You need some kind of a modified BIOS from a third party.

Another option is:
