   Hey Benny!   
      
    BP> yes legecy is supported, but uefi is default   
      
   Same situation here, however booting to nvme took a bit of head banging and   
   rebooting to more or less get working with uefi.  I am not 100% happy with it   
   but all things considered I can learn to live with it.  For the record here is   
   what dmidecode thinks about the bios;

   disks.  Your mileage may vary.
