Have you look in here if it is there make it the first one.
BIOS Features
Hard Drive/CD/DVD ROM Drive/Floppy Drive/Network Device BBS Priorities:

NVM Express (NVMe) or Non-Volatile Memory Host Controller Interface Specification (NVMHCI) is a logical device interface specification for accessing non-volatile storage media attached via PCI Express (PCIe) bus.
Gigabyte supports NVMe on many Intel Series 9 Chipset motherboards with a BIOS update. Gigabyte has no plans to offer NVMe support on legacy Series 8 or Series 7 Chipset motherboards such as the Z77 Chipset Z77X-UD3H.

Did look at what I put up to see if it is there. If windows see it then the bios should see it. So you should be able to make it a boot drive. Yes it should work but you really will not have the performance out it as if you were running as a true M2 drive like in a Z170 board. Plus you might have to add drivers when installing windows.

I have a GA-Z77X-UD4H and with the guide from WinRaid (Fernando) i succeeded to boot and install Win10 x64 on a Samsung SM961 256GB. So if you want to make this EVO 960 bootable you really have to mod the BIOS. The guide actually let you add a NVME express module.
