Hi:

 

The PC's NVMe slot is only PCIe Gen 3.

 

Also, I am not 100% sure a NVMe SSD will work at all.

 

According to chapter 1, page 4, it indicates that only SATA M.2 SSD's are supported.

I find that odd, since on the next page, it indicates Intel Optane memory is supported and that is NVMe.

 

This discussion shows where a forum member installed a NVMe SSD in his 15-bc404ur notebook and it didn't work.

If you decide to buy a NVMe SSD for your notebook, please post back and let us know if it worked or not.
