Thanks for taking the time to reply to me. I checked : my SSD is actually installed in M2M. But I already have installed Catalina on it. The unclear thing for me is that the guidelines in the spoiler seems to say we have to install MacOS and Windows on two separates SSD. May I install Windows on a new partition on my SSD, besides Catalina ?
@scottkendall Why do you use the Designare Firmware on the AIC Card?
Does the NVM23 version by @Elias64Fr for the PCIe card doesn't work correctly on your Build ?
Been so much going on here the past few days I am not sure what or who’s version of 23 I used but it had some undesirable results. It may not have been the flash it may have been something else. However, I flashed the designare firmware to the card and it had no issues. Last night I changed my SSDT to the one Casey listed in the micro guide GC Titian ridge and did the edit to the DROM. Now i have full Working TB.

Note that first byte on each line is data length included on length calculation; second byte include enabling/disabling data (0x8 as enabled 0xC as disabled) and port number.
From all thunderbolt definition that I saw, Alpine ridge use Port 5 as Switch and Titan ridge Port 7

Yes thats right.
The Usb install correctly Displays.
However The Boot Recovery and the Boot Mac OS dont;
- Boot Recovery from Recovery
- Boot Mac Os from Mac Os
- Boot Windows from (nothing after that but that booting works)
- Boot FileVault Prebooter from Preboot
- Boot Microsoft EFI boot from EFI (this one is working)
The SSD is Called Catalina.
Previously if i can remember it showed;
- Boot Mac OS from Mac OS Catalina EFI (something like this-
- Boot Recovery from Os Catalina.
thank you
Any Idea how can I can fix It ?
I tried to Erase and Boot again on the MSR EFI USB Key EFI/BOOT/Bootx64.efi
But can't boot on, I don't know why, it just relog on the F12 screen without Displaying anything.
I double Checked, and formatted the Mother Folder of the USB (PNY in my case) with Mac OS journalised/ GUID.
I tried to plug it from various USB ports.
I will try with another USB Key. (I don't want to use the oneI used to log into The Boot64.efi in the past (because only got 3 USB Keys : 1 with Windows Installer, 2nd with MacOSinstaller, the last PNY one for MSR02).

If you don't need the blazing speed of a PCI-e NVMe drive for your Windows installation, you can pick up a 2.5" SSD SATA drive in the size of your choice fairly inexpensively. You'll also need a bracket or a sled for installing a 2.5" drive in a 3.5" bay. Or, if the M.2 slot in the Designare (I have a different mobo) supports a SATA M.2 drive, you could pick up one of those for a little more than a 2.5" SSD SATA.
Then temporarily remove your Catalina drive, install whatever new drive you purchase, and boot from the windows installer. If you haven't created a Windows 10 install USB yet, and, if you have a PC, google something like "create windows 10 installer". It's a very simple process. If you have no PC, then google something like "create Windows 10 installer on macOS". You'll come up with several guides to choose from.
When Windows is installed, reinstall the Catalina drive, and Windows SHOULD appear as another boot choice on the Clover screen.

(Note: Need someone with GC-Alpine Ridge to confirm this...)
If System Information --> Thunderbolt says No drivers are loaded, then this does not apply to you.
Benefits / Purpose:
Just as your Mac's serial number is unique and your Ethernet card's MAC address is unique, we need to assign a unique ID to the Thunderbolt controller.
Thunderbolt Ethernet Bridge and Target Disk Mode require this procedure.
Most eGPUs require this procedure.
QNAP Thunderbolt-based NAS units require this procedure.
Other Thunderbolt-based storage and NAS systems may require this procedure as well.
This procedure may improve overall compatibility with a wider set of Thunderbolt devices.
Procedure:
There are two options for configuring Thunderbolt DROM. Choose one of the two methods.
Option 1: Web GUI Method (credit: @Inqnuam)
This method is the easiest to use.
Thunderbolt DROM will be customized for you using a randomly generated Unique ID (UID) and all checksums will be auto-computed.
A complete Thunderbolt SSDT (with the new DROM) will be presented on screen and it will also be copied to the clipboard for you.
Download and run MaciASL, create new file (File --> New) and paste the clipboard.
Then save the file in ACPI Machine Language (AML) format: File --> Save As... and choose ACPI Machine Language from the pop-up menu.
Give the file an appropriate name such as: SSDT-TB3-DROM-HOTPLUG.aml.
Any name is okay as long as it begins with SSDT-
However, download SSDT-DTPG.aml from the bottom of this guide.
Both SSDT files must be copied to the CLOVER/ACPI/patched folder (for CLOVER users) or OC/ACPI folder (for OpenCore users).
Option 2: Superuser Method (credit: @joevt)
Please see this guide for advanced users.
Option 3: Manual Method
Specify a new Unique ID (UID) in the 5 green bytes below (0x11).
Replace the 5 green numbers below with 5 randomly selected hex numbers.
Now click here to visit an online CRC calculator and configure it as shown:
Copy the boldfaced bytes below (bytes 2-9 after replacing the green bytes with your own values) to clipboard and paste them into the Bytes field as shown and click CRC button:
Enter the CRC-8 checksum into the 1st byte of Thunderbolt DROM as shown in red below.
Save this into your Thunderbolt SSDT, in the NHI0._DSM method.
The attached SSDTs may be used, but they are configured for PCI0.RP05. Adapt the SSDT for the actual PCIe path for your system. If you have questions about this, just ask.
Both SSDTs should be copied to CLOVER/ACPI/patched or for OpenCore users, OC/ACPI
Optional but Highly Recommended for Add-in-Cards: Byte #2 below (between 0x88 and 0x11) represents the Thunderbolt Bus ID. If you have multiple Thunderbolt controllers, assign a different bus to each one. If you change this byte, please re-compute the CRC-8 checksum.
The first byte of ThunderboltConfig should then be changed to the same Bus ID.
