What is exact model name of your motherboard?
You can find it with CPU-Z - motherboard section.

A320M just means it is A320 chipset board in mATX form factor.
There are probably hundreds of different motherboard models with this chipset.

An NVMe drive won't work in that M.2 port.

"(Note) Supports only M.2 SATA SSDs when using an AMD Athlon™-series/ 7th Gen. A-series or Athlon™ X4 APU. "

A PCIe adapter card may work (or may not).

But in reality, you'd see zero difference over a SATA III SSD.

PCIE M.2 adapter should work just fine in PCIE x16 slot.
But you won't be able to use discrete graphics card then.
