This should only be affected by the operating system. Which version of Windows is currently installed?

booting is limited to 2TB or less because you do not have UEFI bios.

bios versions do not have AHCI sata mode.

This will be a performance issue.

You can install a card. Then install drivers for the card.

Then turn off the onboard SATA and switch to a PCI-E x1 card.
