Bios does not see NVMe SSD Samsung 980 PRO 500GB. What to do?

BIOS motherboard ASUS P8Z77-V LE PLUS does not see SSD NVMe SSD Samsung 980 PRO 500GB. SSD NVMe SSD Samsung 980 PRO 500GB is in P.Express 4.0 in the second slot after the video card in a special adapter bought in China. Windows 7 sees the SSD and can use it, but the BIOS does not.
What needs to be done so that the BIOS sees the SSD?

As far as I know, booting from a drive in a PCI-e slot will not work. Because you have an old motherboard that does not know that the boot device can be in the PCI-e slot (yes, I'm not sure that modern ones are well aware of this. But modern ones have M2, which solves the problem).
My only option is to try the M2 -> SATA adapter. But also without a guarantee that everything will work (I have not personally tried it). But here you will definitely lose performance (since SATA is elementary slower) and you can get problems related to the specifics in the difference between the SATA and NVMe protocols.
The easiest solution is to return this SSD to the store and change it to a SATA SSD (such as Samsung 860 Pro or Samsung 870 Evo), which will be visible to the system as a regular hard drive.

So on their website it is written that old mothers do not see ssd.
I had the same issue. I found a solution to edit the BIOS by sewing in the NVME support block.
For myself, I decided to install a boot disk on which everything spins, and took the new disk under virtual machines

Is the disk visible during installation of the operating system? those. winpe drivers for it find?
If so , then buy the cheapest sata disk (most likely it will be a 64GB ssd or even an overgrown flash drive) and install the bootable operating system on it and write the normal disk layout in boot.ini.
With great chances, this can be done even simply with a flash drive or memory card, if there is a card reader, you can set it to boot from it in the BIOS, you can even shove grub there.
