Responding to the November 18 question…Uh, I followed the instructions to the letter, initially. I played with it so much afterwards that may have been the case that I enabled SATA drives and forgot to disable them. It is a non-issue for me anymore since I am keeping the SATA SSD as a secondary on this system. This is what worked for me…I finally caved and did a wipe and clean install of Windows 10 on the NVME and now am flying.

I do appreciate that you and most on here work and don’t expect you to waste your time on my problems, but if anybody could tell me if anything I’m doing is not worth it then I would apprecate that. Yes I use paid version of AOMEI Partition Assistant, Migrate OS is an icon at the top ribbon 5th icon from the left (too bad I can’t put screenshot here). First to have new midnight-gray chassis. One of the last Dells to support two floppy drives. Product Announcement Date:Dec 1, 2000

I followed your excellent video and written details regarding the modifying of the bios. The new SSD is recognised and bios updated (as per your details on how the Bios should be set up), so I tried to get my Dell Optiplex 7020 booted from my new M.2 SSD, but without success. The USB dongle is much more convenient and easy to install, but has less space for a decent antenna and can have thermal problems. On the other hand, the PCIe based adapter is much more powerful, more reliable, and has better antenna, but it is harder to install. I followed all the steps and everything looks like everything went well. But when I go to the Bios and then go to Boot Sequence and select UEFI, I only see my USB drive listed. I don’t see my new SSD drive there. I know is there because in “System Information” under “General” I can see “Mass Storage” on SLOT2. Also when I boot my computer normally with the (HDD), I open File Explorer, and the SSD is listed there too. Unfortunately, the Dell OptiPlex 9020 SFF has no M.2 PCIe soket and you have to rely on the available SATA ports to connect your drives.

Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 and an 8th generation Intel or newer processor. Some models in Series 5 between 2015 and 2019 shipped with TPM 1.2, but are capable of meeting these requirements with a firmware upgrade to TPM 2.0 and the appropriate minimum CPU.

The NetPlex line consisted of inexpensive i486 workstations designed to be used as corporate network clients. The OptiPlex line offered the same networking capabilities as the NetPlex along with additional features such as VESA Local Bus expansion slots, expandable VRAM, and stronger processor models. It also targeted large enterprises with features such as embedded diagnostics.
