I just found out G751JY, and maybe other with M2 slot, support 950Pro.
I have connected to G751JY with bios 2.11 950PRO 512MB.

Thus, if you're lucky to have a revision with the m.2 socket -> NMVe supported SSDs should work on your laptop.

Here is my UBU v1.45 scan of 2.11 G751jy BIOS. The G751jy bios is Aptio 4 so I do not know what bios scan you have posted.
I can not see any NVME driver in 2.11 bios.
OK I'll try with nvme driver recommended by win-raid.
From what I have read on MSI forum it is a problem with Samsung NVME driver exclusivly on Windows 10 home?,but performance was at rated spec when benchmaked with Windows 10PRO. they say there Samsung will be realeasing NVME driver v2.0 to remedy this problem on win 10.

Just a little input.
While the BIOS and even motherboard on the JL and JM may support NVMe they do not support the M2 form factor unless you have some mad modding skills and can source the actual connector as the slot is not cut out and there is no connector on the board and therefore they are incapable of supporting the 950 pro. I had the idea of trying an M2 drive early on with a JL but noted the case does not have the access cut out. Before I went to breaking out a dremmel I opened it up and saw no connector either.
Top photo shows JL MOBO, Bottom show JY denoting the absence of the connector in the JL.

well... of course you're right... if one doesn't have the M.2 connector - no bios mod in the world would help to get NVMe support.
The thing is that if asus sold officially, even in part of the countries, a G751JX ( X=Y,T,L,M ) with m.2 ssd - there's a chance that you might have the m.2 connector, or if you RMA and the lab decide to change the motherboard to a newer one -> there's a chance that you might get a newer/older revision of the motherboard - that might contain a m.2 connection...
There is a lot of if/but/might here...
What is certain is that asus officially inserted into the G751 serie an EFI NVMe ROM module - which is one of components necessary to get NMVe support on these laptops.
