Hi,
I have a TC-885G-EB11.  I don't know what difference the "G" makes but I'd guess it's very similar to yours.
Here's some info from another post I made a few days ago.

First, you may want to check your BIOS.  The M.2 shows as NVMe Port1 when nothing is plugged in the M.2 connector.  I installed a NVMe PCIe Gen 3 x4 SSD and it then showed up in BIOS for that port and works great.  If you are planning to install a regular SATA SSD M.2 it may not be "backwards" compatible to support that type of SSD.  I'm not sure.

To install the new card I removed the support bracket with the HDD as well.  The front plastic cover is held by 4 flexible tabs, two on each side, that grab onto the metal frame.  When you release the cover the small cover on the DVD will fall off.  It's not a problem as it snaps back in place after you re-install the front cover.  Once the front cover is off, you can remove three screws and slide the DVD out of the way to provide access to the M.2 socket.

Your M.2 SSD may not come with the small screw needed to secure it in place so plan ahead.

I had been running Linux Mint 19 with a SATA SSD on one of the SATA connectors.  I "cloned" that OS to the new M.2 NVMe port SSD and it works fine.  Speed tests show it's much faster too...approx 4-5 times faster!

If anyone has a source of documentation for this motherboard it would be greatly appreciated.

Hope this helps....Jim
