I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to know whether the M.2 slot on your computer has a B or M key has is.

 

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

 

I checked the specifications of your computer and see that your computer supports an NVMe SSD drive. Most of the computers support a B key however, to know exactly you need to open the laptop and check.

 

As the key positions of B and M are slightly different, the M. SSD can only be installed one way. A 'B' keying (pins 12-19) gives PCI Express SSDs up to 2x lanes of bandwidth, while a 'M' keying (pins 59-66) provides PCI Express SSDs with up to 4x lanes of bandwidth.

 

Refer to the below service guide for your computer for more information.
