Hi,
I just finished upgrading my main PC with 32GB Ram and installed W10 pro on 2.5" 240GB SSD. All configured and good.
Question: Motherboard (Gigabyte 990FX-UD3 v4.0) doesn't have M.2 slot. Can I buy one of those PCI-E cards, stick the M.2 SSD on it and use it to boot windows? If so I can clone the 240GB SSD to the M.2 and enjoy the speed of M.2.
Thanks,
