I may be speaking out of place and absolutely as an amateur. I was able to install a 1TB WD_Black NVMe SSD in my AK1Pro. I had issues with installing Windows 11 Pro but was able to overcome the concern by following the steps in the below linked post.

I was able to get the Windows product key from the registry.

Hope this helps anyone wishing to upgrade the SATA to NVMe

AK1 Pro currently does not support NVME.

Hi Y2kdancr2,
I am very interested in your "feat" about the 1TB WD Black M.2 with the AK1 Pro.
In my case, I want to use the M.2 slot to plug a PCIe 4X riser for specific purpose and make a study case (plug an high-end PCIe audio card on it):
Between those whose said this device had just a physical NGFF with M Key edge support but no NVMe (only AHCI host bus) and you who succeed in installing a NVMe/PCIe 3X capable device, it's very confusing... :roll:
I still looking for clue in the Windows devices manager.
Could You be kind enough to publish a picture of your "work" (the WD Black connected to the AK1 Pro motherboard) in this thread, please ? It would help me make a decision... 8-)

Best regards.
