I have an Acer nitro 5 AN515-51 with intel i5-7300HQ. There is an already installed 1TB HDD which is the primary boot device. I want to add an M.2 NVMe SSD to the laptop. My BIOS version is Insyde 1.13 26/12/2017 . I want to know if I can set a M.2 NVMe SSD as my boot device. I have seen that AN515-51 has support for NVMe storage. But is it bootable?
BIOS/Date: Insyde1.13/ 26-11-2017
SMBIOS version: 3.0
Intel chipset: HM175
BIOS mode: UEFI
Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi!!
@rahulpower2012
Yes you can install a M.2 NVMe SSD, PCIe and NVMe SSDs are similar, you can also install a M.2 SATA SSD, M2.SATA SSD and M.2 NVMe SSD both are compatible with your laptop. http://www.userbenchmark.com/System/Acer-Nitro-AN515-51/61125
To transfer your OS to SSD?
Please follow the steps below and see whether it helps:
1.Download and install Minitool partition wizard free.
2. Install the SSD and use Migrate feature to transfer the contents of HDD to SSD.
3. Go to BIOS and change the boot order to make the SSD as your first boot device.
4. Make sure the migration was successful, then format the HDD and use it for storage.
You can also remove the HDD and use the laptop only with the SSD after the migration completed, if you prefer.
