Acer Nitro 5 Model N17C1 there is a possibility to install a ssd m2 or nvme on it

Hello,

I've a situation

I just get a Acer Nitro from a friend and I saw when I open it that there is a possibility to install a ssd m2 or nvme on it

I try to do it but when it look like it's not detected on the BIOS

I was thinking it's because this ssd isn't working but I test it on an other computer and it's detected.

I read on few forums that this kind of model (i mean Acer Nitro 5) it's look like complicated to install one on this

I try to format and put it on UEFI/GPT mode but it doesn't change anything, he's not read by the laptop or in the BIOS.

Do you know what i've really need to do or someone as the same problem and find the issue because i don't want really to make the OS work with a ssd with the 2.5" size?

Thanks by advance

I just find the answer

What I bought is an SSD NVME and this laptop support SSD M2

I test with the first one and it's working perfectly

I understand the problem after saw that he manage only "Connection Protocle" Sata and no PCIE from the schema (look the two pictures from the BIOS)

Hope it will help a lot of people
