PCI-e 4.0 for Spectre x360 model 14-ef2013dx

[KLH321]

Hi all:

I've got a Spectre x360 model 14-ef2013dx and I'd like to upgrade the SSD to a 2TB and I've been searching on these forums and the internet and can't get a definitive answer. I want to buy a PCI-e 4.0 device and from what I can see using CPU-Z, my device supports 4.0 (see "Link Speed" and "Bus Specification" below.)

Can someone confirm that the 14-ef2013dx will support PCI-e 4.0 speeds? Thanks!
