Edit: to be more specific - how did you transfer the system to nvme ?

  There are a few persons who have successfully gotten their Pinebook Pro's to boot from the NVMe SSD drive,

I believe they flashed the SPI module.

  The PBP is a rather 'low powered' laptop,  so using the eMMC to boot, then running from the NVMe means running
     both of these drives.

  Running both drives may greatly reduce the 'run time' between charging it.

  I myself prefer to use just the eMMC as it draws less power  AND  I do not need to charge it very often.
    The eMMC delivers fast enough speeds for my uses.

  IF you need the faster speeds,  It would make sense to eliminate the eMMC and boot from the SPI,
   then run from the NVMe drive....  remove the eMMC from your board completely...

   IF you 'Dig' around this forum,  you can find some persons have actually done this,  it does take a bit
     of skill and time,  you may find it worth your while.

     IF  I was to consider it,  I would like to see it slightly more proven and simplified....
          I just purchased a recent copy of ' Linux for Dummy's '
            I have been using Linux for a long time, but I am still not good with terminal and such.
