i just need to know if the ssds uses key M or key A as listed on the motherboard 

Links to purchase a compatible ssd would also be appreciated

@insanefire10,

It meets the requirements, NAND m.2 as shown here

Windows should show around 223GB for a 240GB SSD when formatted. Are you sure that is enough?

Just how are you going to do this?  https://www.easeus.com/partition-master/clone-larger-hdd-to-smaller-ssd.html
