    Hi BT members, I hope that once again, someone will be kind enough to help me on a little detail...:grin:
    Like mentioned in the title, I am trying to mod my bios/uefi to add the NVME commands, following this wonderful guide (https://www.win-raid.com/t871f50-Gu...rt-for-all-Systems-with-an-AMI-UEFI-BIOS.html).
    My question is simple, if anyone has done that before, I am sure it's not a great deal but it turns out I am a bit confused with everything I've read the last days...:oldconfused:
    So, I downloaded the tools and a version of my bios and I was about to do the job when I noticed that the downloaded bios file had no extension file name :eyebrow: ... I precise that "hide file extentions of known type" is unticked in my explorer options, the file is just named like that:
    X79E9_4.00
    so then, the copy of the "pure" completely extracted source BIOS file cannot be done:wallbash:
    well, I said to myself, I guess there is a way to extract it with the proper tool and the proper file name extention, so I started to read about it and I noticed it was different between the brands, Asus, Gygabyte and Asrock are not similar, well, obviously, but I start to be lost here, and I read several topics on google without really finding a proper explanation about Asrock because almost everyone who is asking help about that, are only using the flash utility to replace the bios... not so popular to tweak bios finally :nono:
    any clues?
    thanks by advance, I keep searching though but, may be one of you knows :grin:

    It* should be a renamed .bin, in MMTool when you click on load image button you should be able to select all files (*.*) from the drop down files of type box.

    *the original BIOS file.

    It should still show the original bios file even if it doesn't have a dot something, it does when i did it anyhow.

    Well, guys, okay, I still have to flash the bios of my MB and be successful with Windows 10 installation, but even though, I have a good feeling :thumb:
    What I want to add is, this guide is a true diamond :clap: I never imagine it could be so easy just few months ago :jawdrop:, I was just...kinda bitter not to benefit of NVME SSDs on THIS computer, my main and most powerful one, "my precious" :grin:
    I want to thank Dieter alias Fernando for this amazing gift, I must send him a small donation, it's far below what he deserves, thinking what kind of upgrade he provides to old chipsets... I'm baffled, and so happy :lol:
    to be continued...
