    Hi,
    You can install a M.2 NVMe SSD, the M.2.5 you see is the size of the screw next to it.

    Thanks a lot. Should I go for Samsung 970 Evo Plus 250GB for $97.11 or Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 256GB for $91.48 here in India?
    Any recommendations or bottlenecking using any of these.

    You are welcome :)  Samsung are famous among users for it's reliability but I have read very good reviews about Adata drives as well, so I wouldn't mind either of them because nothing much between them.

    I have been there man, unsure about selecting the most compatible m.2 SSD. First of all, it does support M.2 NVME type but at half of the specified bandwidth, so its better to buy Samsung 860 evo 250 gb and get a  550 MB/s read/write speed. At this speed your laptop starts levitating  :) . Clone your O.S with Samsung tool, boot from SSD. Prioritizing the SSD in boot menu won't work, you might have to delete the MBR from HDD. Last but not least install this Magician tool and there you can enable RAPID mode to 4X your current speed but it consumes a bit of RAM and there are chances of data loss, Beware!
