Need help, I am planning to upgarde my laptop storage to ssd, I am trying to figure out if my model has regular m.2 SSD slot or can support PCie/NVMe ssd?
have been trying to search online but couldn't get any answer.

It should support an m.2 nvme speeds. But nvmes are notoriously finicky particularly above 256GB. Make sure your seller/vendor has a good returns policy for an exchange or refund if it doesn't work out. m.2 SATAs are a safer choice even in m.2 pcie slots. Jack E/NJ

I see, thank you very much for your reply. So it is better to stick with m.2 sata then?

JackE

If it was mine, I would not pay much more for a m.2 nvme of the same capacity especially over 256GB. Jack E/NJ

@JackE thank you man i wthink i will just do that, the price of nvme is expensive,  anyway so i have to buy the m.2 sata is the one with m+b key right?

Yep. Two slots, B and M, like in the middle 3 SATA3 images below. Jack E/NJ
