Probably too old as its 3rd generation Intel. 4th gen allowed for m.2 boot.

hey. Yeah the motherboard was the problem, which is a complete pain in the ass because gpart messed up and made me loose half my data in the second time coping stuff over. I still cant get it to boot even on the right motherboard because now all the windows stuff is botched.
i guess ill try to get easeus os migration because i dont trust gpart after it deleted half my data while coping it. but now i gotta install windows on something
