Is it actually possible to use nvme in E5-475G kaby lake version

nvincent_08

So recently my laptop got really slow and i want to get a new m.2 ssd for the E5-475G-53IQ, people say it is only support sata m.2, meanwhile the m.2 slot in acer e5 have the m.2 with m key, and there is a guy in acer forum posted that his acer e5-575g with kaby lake works with nvme m.2 . Can someone help me with this confusing thing?

Hi,

You can check by installing HWiNFO64 program, expand Bus, expand PCI Bus, highlight PCI Express ports and check on the right pane whether you have Maximum Link Width 2x or 4x, if you have these values then you can install a NVMe SSD, please read this thread which has the snip:http://community.acer.com/t5/E-F-and-M-Series-Laptops/Acer-Aspire-E5-575-52JF-m-2-nvme-support/td-p/497241
