Anyone with an anecdote about putting in an nvme into this notebook, help is appreciated, I'm going to try and install this:

https://www.amazon.ca/Samsung-970-EVO-Plus-MZ-V7S500B/dp/B07M7Q21N7

from what I read, this drive comes with no screw, and there may or may not be a screw on the mobo (I'm not exactly sure what's in my notebook other than it's a 256gb ssd), what screw should I get? would this work?

I don't really want to pay more than 10 bucks for screws.

thanks.

    Hi,
    If you already have a 256GB SSD in the laptop, you don't need to buy a screw because 256GB SSD is most probably a M.2 SSD and you can use the same screw for your new M.2 SSD.

    I see, I hope so, I don't really want to open it all up just to check if a screw is there or not, worst case I can get a screw from amazon prime.

    Thanks for the screw name, I do think that is correct screw I have seen it mentioned before online about nvme replacement, it's not so easy to find online but will try local, hardware store if my laptop has no screw.
