@Borg1of9,

 

 Your service manual states that your model's M.2 slot supports both SATA SSDs and NVMe SSDs.

NVMe is a lot faster than SATA interface. Here are a couple of reputable NVMe SSDs. There are many other good ones, and you can choose any capacity you want, 500 GB, 1 TB or 2 TB.

Page 43 of the manual shows the installation procedures for an M.2 SSD.

 

You can install Windows on an M.2 NVMe drive and use your current hard drive for data storage.
