I just took a look at one of my PCIe M.2 adapters.

Mine fits ATX format PCs.

 

You would have to take a look inside yours and measure the dimensions to see if a standard low profile PCIe x1M.2 adapter would even fit.

 

It is a maybe since there  is an available  PCIe x1 slot.

A PCIe x1 slot has very low bandwidth (1GB/s) and that would make access very slow  for an  NGFF storage device.

You may some issues getting an MBR BIOS and an M.2  NGFF SSD to cooperate.
