Tried it today, just remember if you had to use an old bios to get support for a nvme pcie ssd, this bios will break your computer. Installed the bios and lost my ssd boot drive. Can't downgrade the bios easily. Support told me I was screwed, had to install windows back on the mechanical drive, still trying to downgrade bios using winflash /nodate, but every bios tool I am trying stops when I try to load the old version. Basically I am back to stock with a worthless SSD sitting in this shell. Not sure why ASUS builds bios that are so limitted and software tools that lock you out if basic functions. Silly.
Just a quick update, finally found a way to load an old bios, in the bios flash utility, just type "risky" when it says in can't load an old bios. Stupid but it works, unfortunately can't get the SSD recognized still, probably would need to reinstall windows to that or modify the bios manually. Not worth it at this point, unfortunately this laptop is really slow without an SSD. No clue why they put M2 in the machine when they have such a hard time supporting it. If all your hardware is stock, 306 should work fine, but if you have changed anything be wary.
