sir, 

Look at the connceting port of the SSD you mentioned and 👉the port of my motherboard, which I have sent the photo.

Both are not matching each other . And my PC have ( Intel i5 ,8th gen ) Processor not AMD so is this confirm that iwill have to use SATA SSD...?

So if the port of both motherboard and SSD is not matching, 😏 then how will it be installed...?

Also I have attached a more image upside with my frist msg, kindly look and  make me clear about that please 🙏

You posted that you have a  15-Bw098au notebook.

Here is the link to the product specs for that notebook:

HP Notebook - 15-bw098au Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

All HP 15-bwXXX notebooks have AMD processors.

I can't help you if you can't provide accurate information regarding what model notebook you have.

All M.2 slots in HP notebooks only have one key.

Depending on the model of the notebook, the slot can support NVMe only, SATA only or both.

The only way to know for sure is to refer to the service manual for your notebook's model series, and if it has an Intel processor then it is not a HP 15-bw notebook.
