Hi. I have an Acer Swift 3 SF314-511 that comes with 8GB, an i3-1115G4 and a 256GB M.2 drive (WD SN530). I wanna change the M.2 with a PCIe 4.0 (Kingston KC3000) and i don't know if the laptop supports 4.0 natively. I don't want to waste my money and see reduced speeds. Can anyone help me with this? Appreciate in advance. Cheers!!!

    The M.2 PCIe port is 3.0, so it supports NVMe 4.0 drives, but at 3.0 speeds.
