Hello, 

Is it possible to upgrade the computer with an nvme adapter?

I plan to upgrade my PC with a new and faster SSD. Unfortunately this PC has only one SATA slot available for SSD and this is quite below my needs.

That is correct.

 

What I stated was derived from the specifications of the motherboard and  knowledge of what a BIOS does.

Your PC's BIOS does not have support for PCIe NVMe SSD products.

 

You do have a PCIe  3.0 x16 slot that, if available, will support an adapter card for M.2 SATA SSD.

 

It is unfortunate that M.2 SATA SSD adapter cards have become difficult to source.

So in that case can if I understand your logic an upgrade with a m.2 SSD is possible and NOT with a nvme, did I understand correctly?
