My PC isn't recognizing any NVME drives, anything wrong with my BIOS settings? There are WAY too many options... ( imgur.com )

I got a new Mobo. Windows installer doesn't see the nvme drive. For some reason the bios has a million settings and are all alien to me.

I took a lot of photos of all the settings, so many unknown entries

The motherboard is from an unknown Chinese OEM and it's using a laptop core i7 but in a itx form factor. I have no idea of the brand, really. The box just says "motherboard" and there's no silkscreen on the PCB (it was very fun guessing which pins were for the front panel). No user manual was included. The bios it says "version: default string"

I hate when OEMs lock down bios settings but here is the opposite, they enabled everything

You really don't want to cheap out on motherboards, without a manual and being a no name brand, there's no way to know what anything does.

Some options might be random or do nothing.

And maybe the NVME hookup is broke or never real to begin with.

You could mess around and try to get it working, but you're risking it breaking other components. Even if you have to buy the cheapest brand name motherboard, I'd make that a priority.
