   Hi,
Would the P67 Extreme4 Gen3 motherboard be able to support booting Windows 10 from a Samsung 950 Pro Evo using a riser card, such as this?

Thank you for your time.

	Since the last UEFI/BIOS update for your board is 6/6/12, the answer is no, sorry to say. The fourth and fifth generation Intel processor boards, using the Intel 9 series chipset, needed a UEFI/BIOS update to boot from an NVMe SSD. My Z97 board had two updates for NVMe support, the first one in 12/2014, and the next in 4/2015. Plus your platform may not even support booting over a PCIe connection.
