I bought an Aorus Gen 4 NVME SSD for my college laptop and setup Ubuntu on it.
Now I have to return the laptop and I just realised that my old computer doesn't have an m.2 slot. It's an Asus P8Z77-M Pro with an i5-3470.
I want to be able to use my NVME SSD as my primary drive so I can continue developing without having to re-setup Ubuntu (which I've deeply configured to my liking).
I'm hoping that I only need to upgrade my motherboard and not the CPU and RAM too, because I don't have the budget for it.
Also, I saw that booting from a PCIe adapter is not possible on the Z77 chipset, so that's not an option.
