HOW TO DO IT DERP
http://mrlithium.blogspot.com/2015/12/how-to-boot-nvme-ssd-from-legacy-bios.html

step 1 - clean the drive, make efi-boot

1. Create a small FAT32 partition like ~100MB on the NVME drive as partition 1. (not under 32MB or FAT32 won't work - i think windows has some larger-than32mb but less-than100mb abnormal minimum limit before it refuses to format, just stick to 100MB). Name it something like "EFI BOOT" for good measure. Assign it a drive letter to be able to access it. Make it Active.
C:\> diskpart.exe
DISKPART> list disk
DISKPART> select disk 4
DISKPART> clean (start fresh: removes any partitions/the MBR. skip if needed)
DISKPART> convert mbr (starting fresh: initializes disk as MBR. skip if needed)
DISKPART> create partition primary SIZE=100
DISKPART> list partition
DISKPART> select partition 1
DISKPART> format fs=fat32 label=efi_boot
DISKPART> assign letter=K
DISKPART> active
DISKPART> exit



step 2 - clone C drive to remaining space, etc
ugh - current cloning software wants to OVERWRITE the NEW K partition .. no no no no no
FUCK time to find a different method/software/etc

fuck it new software time
