I have a 500 GB HDD and an empty slot for an M.2 SSD. So I wanted to install a 240 GB M.2 SSD to boost the speeds. But when I opened the back panel I did not find any screw to attach the m.2 SSD. Normally these are provided with the motherboard itself but it’s not the case here. After looking at the manual I found I needed a Phillips PM2.0×4.0 screw but that’s not easy to buy. What should I do? The screw that’s fixed with the WiFi card is the same. Should I remove that screw and use it for the SSD?

No, you have to buy yourself. Some M.2 SSD vendors do supply a screw with their products but the problem in many cases that screw won't physically fit. You can buy a set and select which one is the right one
