Hello, I would like to know if any m2 ssd is compatible with my laptop and is it hard to install it? I know how to put in the laptop, but after that I know I have to reinstall windows and I remember reading somewhere that I have to do something in the BIOS ? Is it really that hard to install it, any help is appreciated, thanks !

PS - Also, should I get a m2 ssd or just a normal one?

Reviews state that it has a NVMe PCIe m.2 SSD port. Some laptops have PCIe ports that are also compatible with SATA m.2 SSDs, but you need to do further research to determine that.

If you want to replace the m.2 SSD with a larger capacity m.2 SSD, then you need to buy a USB to PCIe cable to connect the new m.2 SSD to the laptop so that you can use cloning software to clone the OS and all data from the old SSD to the new SSD.

Installing a 2.5" SATA SSD is the easier option.
