Its an M2 in an M2 slot connected to the PCIe bus. If you wish to use it as a boot drive, the general rule of thumb is to backup everything you want to keep, disconnect your HDD and install a fresh copy of Windows onto the SSD.  Once everything is installed, then connect your HDD.

Thanks!

Now Ive managed, after loads of work, to install a Samsung 960 Evo as a bootdrive for the system.

And its running over  nvme and placed directly on the pcie x4 buscard place. Using Samsung Magician shows readspeeds of around 2,7GB/s.... The computer all over now feels blistering fast...
