Hello I'm trying to find out if I can use an SSD I purchased with an M.2 PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 will work with my Asus motherboard H110M-A/M.2. My system is from 2017 it came with a smaller SSD card an Item model number INTEL SSDPEKKW512G7, it’s a 512 GB SSD M.2.
The SSD module I purchased has a PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 interface, the manual does not mention NVMe interface so I wonder if the motherboard will work with NVMe?
It's just a transfer protocol, So I've heard and wonder if I can just check or update the bios so that it'll work with NVME is that correct?
Here's a specs on the SSD I purchased
