You laptop supports M.2 NVMe SSD . So your laptop should be support the WD ssd.

Hi @sa0ziz
You can use both types of M.2 SSD in your laptop, so the port in your model can accept both types of SSD, if you want to install WD SN750, you can use that,
as for the memory, you can upgrade it as well with DDR4 2400/2666MHz modules up to 32GB, you can not upgrade the graphics because you have a on-board graphics.

Hi,
Your laptop may be restricted to 2 lanes but I can not confirm, you wouldn't notice any speed differences between 4lane and 2lane M.2 SSD, so I wouldn't bother about the speed.
