You can, but it is only going to run at the Gen 3.0 speed because that is the PCI generation of your notebook's M.2 slot.

 

Not only that, but PCIe Gen 3 NVMe SSD's only run at 1/2 of their advertised speeds from the slot for some reason.

 

For example, if a Gen 3 NVMe SSD advertises a max read speed of 3500 MBPS and a max write speed of 3000 MBPS, the drive will run at about 1750 MBPS read and 1500 MBPS write.

 

That is still considerably faster than a SATA drive.

 

Below is the link to the service manual, where you can find the NVMe SSD installation procedure.
