Hello to everyone,

Hi:

Your notebook's M.2 slot is PCIe Gen 3.0.

A Gen 4 SSD will work but it will not run at its maximum advertised read/write speeds from the Gen 3 SSD slot.

The table shows the maximum transfer speeds for each PCIe slot generation:

PCIe Speeds and Limitations | Crucial.com

You can look up the PCIe specs for AMD and Intel notebook PC's by looking up the processor specs on the applicable AMD or Intel websites, since the processors are integral parts of the motherboard.

PCIe gen 4 is backward compatible therefore you can install PCIe Gen 4 to your machine but it won't run at PCIe Gen 4 speed, only PCIe Gen 3
