No, there is no M2 based slots on that motherboard. That said, there is PCI-E card based solutions that can have a NVME drive, but I don't know about booting from them, etc.

No M.2 port on that.
And unlikely it would boot from a drive in an adapter slot.
Lastly, the performance difference isn't as great as the benchmarks make it out to be, especially for the Windows drive.

Just get a good quality 2.5" SATA III SSD, and save a few $$.
