Replacing Notebook 15-dw0083 128 GB SATA 3 TLC M.2 SSD with SN580 NVMe SSD

[PBL101]

I am trying to upgrade the stock hard drive, 128 GB SATA 3 TLC M.2 in my notebook to a 1TB hard drive, going as cheap as i could, the sales clerk advised me that the SN580 NVMe SSD was compatible with my notebook. After installing the drive, and beginning the window install, the hard drive was not showing up on the drive list to install on. Learning now that there is a distinction between M.2 SSD and NVMe SSD, is there an updated driver that makes the NVMe compatible with my notebook or a solution rather than trying to return the NVMe drive? Thank you in advance for any advice that you have.

M.2 SATA 3 and M.2 NVMe drives are TWO different types of SSD's for storage. Some (not all) machines may support BOTH but in your case probably it supports M.2 SATA only therefore NVMe drive won't work. Please use 1TB or 2TB M.2 SATA 3.

Notebooks with the Intel Pentium Silver N50xx and Celeron N40xx processors only support M.2 SATA SSD's not NVMe, which is why the NVMe SSD will not work.

Unfortunately, this information is not clearly spelled out in chapter 1 the service manual:

A recommended 1 TB SATA M.2 SSD would be this one:
