Hi,

The service manual mentions M2 Slot for M2 SATA 3 SSD such as the M2 Samsung 860 evo or similar.

Example:

However, before buying SSD you should remove the bottom cover and check if the slot is present on motherboard as sometimes notebooks that did not come with the M2 SSD are missing the physical slot on motherboard.

On page 45 of service manual you can see how to remove bottom cover:

If there is a physical connector, then yes you can install m2 ssd drive with sata 3 interface on your PC as iomare said. Take note that your PC doesn't support NVMe interface.

Thanks.

M.2 slots are always 2 chambers for nvme and sata.

But my laptop supports only sata.

Right????😊
