    Regarding your main question:
    Your laptop has one M.2 slot. Check whether the M.2 slot is already occupied. If the M.2 slot is empty, you can use an M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 3.0x4 SSD.

    Your laptop supports Gen 3 SSDs (PCIe 3.0x4), while the WD Black SN750 SE is a Gen 4 SSD. It will work with your laptop because it is backward compatible with PCIe Gen 3, but the SSD will operate at Gen 3 speeds instead of Gen 4.

    Therefore, I recommend looking for an M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 3.0x4 SSD for better value for money, as Gen 3 SSDs are typically cheaper and may get higher size SSD at same amount but if you able get WD Black SN750 SE in better value than Gen 3 SSDs then you can also get that but remember For the raw data transfer speeds, you are stuck with the PCIE 3.0 x 4 speeds of your M.2 slot so don't expect Gen 4 speed in type of data transfer.
