Hi,

I just purchased an Aspire XC-866 and I want to install an SSD. The specs say this computer has a M.2 slot for an upgrade but I had a couple of questions about it:
  1. Where is the M.2 slot located? Is there a motherboard diagram I can reference?
  2. What type of M.2 SSD can I use: PCIe, SATA or NVME? Is it a B-Key or M-Key?
  3. What are the supported SSD dimensions / lengths? 
  4. Are there any officially recommended SSDs?
Appreciate any assistance!

    The Optane support is the clue, that means you can use NVMe. :)
