My DELL Inspiron 5593 actually does have a M.2 512GB KIOXIA NVMe SSD, which I need to use! The problem, as I described here without getting a solution for it: // __ I cannot change BIOS settings on my laptop? https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/i-cannot-change-bios-settings-on-my-laptop.3833102/ ~ is that I can't access/change the BIOS settings on my own laptop to make the hdd work in AHCI mode, I think. I have also read that Debian Linux has problems operating such cards: https://superuser.com/questions/1502756/debian-not-detecting-nvme-asus-zenbook-ux430ua I purchased a Dell XPS 8930 with an NVMe dirve. Debian and Fedora did not recognize the NVMe. I had to use Ubuntu 18.04 for the drive to be recognized. I'm not sure what Ubuntu is doing that Debian is not, but I suspect it has something to do with updates. Debian tends to stick with old and broken software. They will not upgrade for users. – jww Nov 23, 2019 at 4:28 ~ You may know how to deal with such problems, better than I do, since I don't tend to mind the intricate technical details about computer hardware, even though I understand well the physics in them. Every piece of computer hardware my paranoia uses seems to have a mind of its own. I have decided to not use computers (do all the writing by hand on paper), but the data processing and algorithmic basis of my paper I have to do on a computer. Any suggestions? lbrtchx
