Currently My boot drive is a M.2 2280 SATA SSD - 512 GB
I would like to upgrade to a M.2 NVME 2280 SSD - 1TB

It runs M.2 SATA now, most likely it supports M.2 SATA SSD.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I BOUGHT THIS OFF NEWEGG BECAUSE IT CLAIMED TO HAVE 512 GB NVME WHEN IT ARRIVED I DISCOVERED IT WAS A SATA 2280. WHEN I CONFRONTED THEM THEY FIRST SAID I WAS MISSTAKEN, THEN CLAIMED IT WOULDN'T SUPPORT NVME IN IT'S CONFIGURATION. AFTER 3.5 HOURS AND 4 DIFFERENT TECHS I GAVE THEM AN OPTION, EITHER REFUND THE DEVICE + SHIPPING OR CREDIT MY CARD THE COST OF A NVME M.2 3D NAND GEN 3 2280. THEY'RE SHIPPING ME A Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB - M.2 NVMe SSD V-NAND, STILL, I THINK I'LL STICK WITH AMAZON IN THE FUTURE
