Samsung EVO 870 not detected on BIOS boot options

Today i bought Samsung EVO 870 and installed it on my MSI GP62 6QE notebook SATA slot. Doing a fresh windows10 install, disk is detected on windows installation, only after reboot i found out that its not detected on BIOS boot options. It does detected on BIOS main window/storage menu. 

Turned out i can continue using this SSD even though im using my NVMe SSD on boot options. Windows will show two volume from each SSD slot. 

But it feels slow when i try to game using this samsung evo. I had a feeling that the fact i cant boot normally since its missing from BIOS boot options might be the root cause. 

Need help to fix this. Thanks

You have used the windows disk utilities 'Disk Management' to correctly format, partition and prepare the drive ? Did you format it NTFS ?

Just to mention that PCI express NVME drives are much faster than those of SATA bus format.

The NVME3.0 standard means that PCIe NVME drives are able to access at up to 3500MB/s.

The samsung 870 SATA drive that you have will max out at around 550MB/s. That is some 7 times slower for read / write speeds.

You can try some benchmark speed tests with windows. It might give you an idea if something isnt quite right.
