    Thanks for the tip... also, why is it that M.2 manufacturers, nor the motherboard-makers don't include one of those bloody M.2 screws!

    Well, obviously it's the high cost associated with the screw! :pI have noticed on some of the newer Acer laptops that they sometime actually put the screw in, so someone must be listening.

    It is the responsibility of motherboard makers ( in this case , it is still Acer) to provide the M.2 screw. From the picture provided by @brummyfan2 we can see that screw intact.

    For some reason my Acer PC did not come with that screw. I ended up using the screw that came with  M.2 drive external enclosure.
