Hi:

 

That model has a M.2 slot that supports SATA SSD's only, not NVMe.

 

See chapter 1 of the service manual for the supported drive types.

Unfortunately, I would not be able to answer your other question.

 

It whatever you do requires graphics-intensive work, then this model would not be a good choice, since it only has the onboard Intel graphics adapter.
