Hey Benny!

 BP> yes legecy is supported, but uefi is default

Same situation here, however booting to nvme took a bit of head banging and
rebooting to more or less get working with uefi.  I am not 100% happy with it
but all things considered I can learn to live with it.  For the record here is
what dmidecode thinks about the bios;

The "BIOS boot specification is supported" appears to be flakey wrt nvme
disks.  Your mileage may vary.

Life is good,
