I purchased a M.2 SSD drive to upgrade my computer from the HDD before understanding SATA vs NVME.

I have a Menlo motherboard 843F 00 with a M.2 SSD socket. I already purchased a M.2 SATA drive. Is my socket SATA or NVME?

The product name is 3LB72AA#ABA. Will the Samsung 860 EVO SATA M.2 drive work? Besides cloning and changing boot selection, is there anything else I need to do. I am not a computer expert but I have upgraded PC's with success before.
