This Sabrent PCIe adapter is mainly a simple way to add an NVMe M.2 drive to an older PC or a board with extra PCIe space, and it can run cool and feel sturdy in hand. Installation is straightforward, though the listed version still uses an M.2 screw instead of a tool less clip system. Boot support depends on motherboard BIOS support, and some older systems may not detect the drive at all, even though it can still work as secondary storage or with Linux and Clover boot workarounds. It is just the adapter, so the NVMe drive is not included.
Common Questions (5)
Only if the motherboard BIOS supports booting from the PCIe slot or NVMe devices. Older systems may not see it at all, but Clover on a small USB stick can sometimes make the setup bootable.
It can add an extra NVMe slot on boards with spare PCIe lanes or slots, and users reported it running cool and working without issues on lower-end MSI and Asus X570-E systems.
Yes. It can still work as secondary storage for games or other files, and Linux may recognize it even when an older Windows system does not.
No. It is only the adapter card, so you need to supply your own NVMe M.2 SSD.
No. This version still uses an M.2 screw to secure the drive, while a tool-less version uses plastic retaining clips.

Here's what I got
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093DJ7CBP
Also picked up some 1x PCIE M.2 adapters to take advantage of some PC's that only have a 1X slot available. Not as fast as a 4x slot adapter but still faster than a spinner.
So no only could I not ever boot from one, I couldn't use it as a secondary drive either. This was an 'off network' Win10 Blue Iris install.
Even though your (older gen hardware) WIN10 Machine couldn't see the PCIE/NVME drive, you still have a chance to use it the way you intended on a Linux based system.
I have a Pentium class CPU (really old Dell SC430 from like 2008 era) that back then Dell refused to give you PCIE-16 slots on cheap servers, but I could still use a PCIE slots to put an MVME drive (small 128GB that I repurposed from that COSTCO HP laptop pay for i3 process get an I5 laptop) into one of these cards and used NVME drive as B Cache drive for my NFS Zpool setup. That machine was limited to 2-3 GB RAM but it's great as a home file server. The point is it could still work in Linux even if Windows don't recognize it
Good luck
The one you linked is advertised as PCIe 5.0 compatible, though I'm not sure if that really makes a difference.
I don't think you'll be able to boot from it. I believe the first boards MSI made capable of booting NVMe drives are the Z97 series.
