@alanbane , welcome to the Community.

 

There is no M.2, SSD, socket on your motherboard.  Therefore, it would require an adapter or you would have to use a standard SSD and replace the HDD.  Frankly, because of the age of your computer (2011), I am not certain that a PCIe x1 adapter would be compatible.  I suggest that you contact the manufacturer's Tech Support to see what they have to say about the compatibility with your motherboard.

 

Please click the Thumbs up + button if I have helped you and click Accept as Solution if your problem is solved.
