Hi:

 

I know the M.2 slot supports NVMe drives but I don't know if the slot is gen 3 or gen 4.

 

Run the free utility that I zipped up and attached below to see if it reports what speed the slot supports.

iI couldn't understand the program

You're very welcome.

 

Click on the motherboard report on the right side of the program window.

 

Here is a screenshot of my Dell PC's motherboard, which has a NVMe slot.

I have highlighted the report that shows what PCIe slots the PC has.

 

You can see the two PCIe x4 slots.  One is not a NVMe slot, but the other one is.

 

And you can see the generation...3.0

 

So my PC's motherboard supports PCIe x 4 gen 3 NVMe SSD's.

 

Here is a screen shot of my SSD's speed.  I think that is the max (8.0 GT/S).
