BIOS MOD for ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E to support NVMe hardware encryption

[easygoer]

Is this something possible at all?

BIOS MOD for ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E to support NVMe hardware encryption? I am unable to turn on hardware encryption using Bitlocker on Crucial T500 2TB NVMe drive. There is supposed to be a BIOS requirement per Crucial website:

UEFI 2.3.1 or greater: The host computer should be at a minimum of UEFI 2.3.1 and should have the EFI_STORAGE_SECURITY_COMMAND_PROTOCOL defined. This enables security protocol commands to be sent to and from the SED. Please contact the manufacturer of your host computer if you are not sure this requirement is met. 

Is there a way to check whether this protocol is already embedded in the stock ASUS BIOS?

Thank you so much.
