    Bit of an update I didn't know if NVMe would work but u tried anyways and installed it. It showed on the settings. So I used a third party app and cloned whats on the old ssd to the new one and while I was doing this I saw there was thermal on it. I then looked on the cover and there was a thermal plate very nice 
    And so after I cloned the Ssd I replaced the old one with the 1TB 
    And after I allocated space into the slot my space went from 250gb to 1tb and everything works fine 🙂
