Can I use a PCIe SSD Drive in the Aspire 3 A315-41-R14K?

I'm afraid I already know the answer, but I thought I would double check it. I recently bought an Aspire 3 and also ordered a PCIe Samsung 970 EVO 500 GB to add another drive. Having read a few things online they said that it doesn't work with PCIe, that is needed to be SATA only. I guess I can probably return it unopened or swap it out with one of my SATA drives on one of my other machines if I have to. If it works that would be ideal but I get the feeling that won't be the case. Has anyone tried it or had any success using a PCIe drive?

    I do not think this model supports NVVME! In all the threads I've been looking for, no user was able to successfully install an ssd nvme on this model!

    Thanks, that is what I thought. I think I'll just pull one of my SATA SSD drives from my gaming computer and throw this one in there.
