First, Ignore the Dell-Cares message. As far as I can tell, it's a write-many-read-never account. No mattter how many times you reply, it will ignore you and keep sending you messages. As to your problem, you can get a cheap ($20?) PCIE nvme adapter. Or you can buy a used Dell Quad Ultra-speed (about $100?). If your machine allows partioning you can use 4 nvme cards with the quad. Note that the PCIE card splits out the channel into 4 subchannels. The following might be useful.:https://www.urtech.ca/2019/11/sovled-video-dell-ultra-speed-drive-quad-nvme-m2-disk-pcie-adapter-with-windows-storage-spaces/
I think that there is a solution that uses the slots in the front of the machine. IIRC that was way more expensive and not as fast (????)
More info for you here:
Good luck

I've booted to nvme via both a cheap, $17 PCI-E card and also a Dell Quad adapter. Maybe something in the BIOS settings? Can anyone with better knowledge help here?

You have a tower, OP has a rack. Did not install boot drive for R7910 before, so I can't say for certain. But it doesn't hurt to give it a try. Usually, it takes around 15 minutes to install Windows. Why not just proceeding with installation to see if it can boot.
For hardware and settings, just a passive PCIe to NVMe adapter will do. No special settings in BIOS for 5810 or 7810, so assuming the same for R7910.
