It's unlikely that bios update is needed for the use of a M2 device, however generally speaking you should always run the latest bios.
Here is the procedure for install of Windows on a Nvme drive.
1 - Make sure you unplug all SATA and USB drives, the M.2 drive has to be the only drive installed.
2 - Go into the bios, under the boot tab there is an option for CSM, make sure it is disabled.
3 - Click on secure boot option below and make sure it is set to other OS, Not windows UEFI.
4 - Click on key management and clear secure boot keys.
5 - Insert a USB memory stick with a UEFI bootable iso of Windows 10 on it.
6 - Press F10 to save, exit and reboot.
7 - Windows will now start installing to your NVME drive as it has its own NVME driver built in.
8 - When the PC reboots hit F2 to go back into the BIOS, you will see under boot priority that windows boot manager now lists your NVME drive.
9 - Click on secure boot again but now set it to WIndows UEFI mode.
10 - Click on key management and install default secure boot keys
11 - Press F10 to save and exit and windows will finish the install.

I wonder why it installed in Sata mode in the first place. It's installed in the bottom NVME M2 slot, supposedly for better thermals. I put that Samsung 960 evo there in the initial build and booted up with it as the boot drive from day one. Would you know how I got it installing under SATA in the first place?
