the one that originally had the PM961 (OEM variant of the 960 Evo) worked

but now under boot sequence I don't see Windows Boot Manager (default settings had it listed as first priority, then PM961 second), now I only see UEFI: 960 Pro Partition 2 as the only option. Should I ignore this or will it hamper performance somehow?
I don't know of an easy way to load the drive controller drivers into Window's HAL and retain the Windows installation. I've been using Acronis' Universal Restore. I've used move production Windows installs to different hardware, including HDD, SSD, M.2 NVMe, and PCIe NVMe on Windows 7, 10, and Servers 2008, 2012.

Windows just need the drive controller drivers to boot into Windows. After that, you can install what ever hardware drivers you want.
