Aspire GX-785 i7 7700 16GB ram 128GB SATA SSD is M.2 slot NVMe compatible, socket M?

128GB SSD is getting full, should I stick to a bigger SATA M.2 or can I plug an much faster NVMe?

Crucial website shows both SATA and NVMe can be handled, but is that so before a buy an NVMe?

I did order a WD SATA Green 500MB 2.5i SSD which I will fit and clone the M.2 SSD and modify boot to the WD.

If M.2 slot is NVMe compatible I will purchase a 500GB or 1TB M.2, clone the WD SATA and keep the WD SATA as extra disk storage.

Hi,
Yes, you can install a M.2 NVMe SSD, I have seen others installing a 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD but not 1TB, 1TB may or may not work as a boot drive.
