Hi @KelvenW

for the type of processor (AMD 3020e) can not support NVME, maybe the SATA, but I'm not sure that the M.2 slot is active.

Hi, @resistencia & @KelvenW 

The M.2 slot in all mode 14s-fq0xxx notebooks with the 64 GB eMMC flash storage drive is active to support a M.2 SATA SSD only.

It can only be used for storage as the notebook will not boot from the M.2 SSD.

Perhaps a program like Clover Bootloader could get the drive to work, but I don't know that for sure and I have never used the software before.

Folks use it for older PCs to boot from a M.2 NVMe SSD placed in a desktop PC's PCIe x 4 or x 16 slot.

Bot look… the connection port seen to be for a Nvme, I’ve tried one from Crucial but didn’t work or show up in my CMD as a working ship, could you please see if I can connect a SATA SSD here? thanks

The M.2 ports for NVME and SATA are the same, the difference is that with a SATA disk there is a pin without contact.
