However, after installing a new NVMe (WD Back SN850 1TB) and trying to load load Win 11, I got a message that "this...

    WTB/WTT - Micro ATX LGA1151 with dual full length PCIe slots

    Looking for a no frills Micro ATX board with 2 PCIe full length slots. They don't have to be 16 lanes. Would prefer Q270 or Z270 chipset, but Q170 or Z170 would work too. Spacing between the 2 PCIe slots should be 2x, 3x or 4x. Found what I was looking for.
