No. It doesn't.

You theoretically could install nvme drive in PCIE x16 slot by using m.2 to pcie adapter.
But nvme drive would not be bootable and
you'd not be able to use discrete graphics card then.

Use 2.5"sata SSD instead.

Disappointing to hear but at least I now know what to do.

Thank you for your guidance.

Have a great day.
