OptiPlex 9010 NVMe support

Just wondering if anyone has installed a PCIe NVMe M.2 adapter into an OptiPlex 9010? Curious if anyone has done it and got it working according to the high speed specs of the NVMe disk. I'd be looking at a Samsung 970 EVO Plus connected to a PCIe 3.0 x4 card.

I see there have been quite a few BIOS updates (most recent A30) so perhaps Dell have been generous to include support.  

Not holding my breath for boot support, but if it works according to spec then I'd be happy to add one as a second drive.

TBH I'm amazed my investment in this workstation has lasted so long! Purchased in 2012 with 32GB and an i7-3770 and later adding an SSD has still made it a relevant machine today (not a gamer!)
