I own this laptop and Wanted to know whether this has an M.2 PCIe Slot to add a Boot SSD? And whether it supports NVMe

 

Right now ts running on a 1TB HDD  

 

(Sorry if any mistakes in my doubt coz im not a tech expert guy)

 

Thank you

This is just my opinion but I hate the engineering and design of this laptop.

 

There is only one bay in this laptop.

 

You can have a regular 2.5" HDD or an M.2 SSD in the bay.

 

If you look at the videos you see with the M.2 you need to also install a Solid state drive connector board.

Supports M.2 SATA-3 SSD

 

Your manual here.

Look at page 2

 

You can have the M.2 or the SSD but not both.

Click on Solid state drive and Hard disk drive assembly.

 

They take up the same bay.
