HI, 

This is Madhav

I had a Question does my laptop has a NVME M.2 SSD slot? What is the Maximum capacity supported? Can I set my M.2 NVME SSD as a bootable Drive? And how to I clone my existing system?

Your notebook has M.2 NVMe PCIe 2280 SSD slot. You can put 512GB or 1TB capacity, there's not going to be a limit unless you're willing to spend that much.

You can take out the hard drive, clean install Windows 10 into M.2 SSD after physically putting it into the slot and see if it is booting to Windows. Then remove bootfiles from HDD, plug it into its bay - use it for storage.

Or you can migrate HDD to M.2 SSD, then remove HDD ,plug SSD in to the slot and see if it booting up. If yes, remove boot file from HDD and plug that it too for storage purpose.

So can I use SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS 500 GB SSD if I do just a little browsing and transferring files and some rendering?
