Question How to use Macbook Air 128 GB SSD in desktop system?

[pappuji2022]

I have Macbook Air 2017. I have upgraded SSD from 128 GB to 500 GB. I have installed it and it is working well.

Now I have macbook air's original 128GB SSD as spare. I want to use it for my desktop windows system. Desktop has Gigabyte Z97-UD3H-BK motherboard which has SSD/NVMe slot.

Here I have some queries, as:

1. How can I use that 128 GB SSD for desktop windows system?
2. Will I need any connector between desktop system's motherboard's SSD slot and 128 GB SSD?
3. Or can I use it directly on motherboard to setup?
4. How can we do 2 partitions of 128 GB SSD as we can do on windows system?

Please suggest me. Thanks a lot.

What model SSD?

You'll probably need an adapter to convert from macbook proprietary connector to standard M.2.
You'll have to clean/repartition/reformat the drive before it can be used in a windows system. It will not recognize MAC filesystem.

SSD model is Samsung MZ-JPV128S/OA2.

Does your suggested adaptor support Samsung MZ-JPV128S/OA2 SSD?

Please confirm. If yes, then please let me know where can I purchase your suggested adaptor from?
Thanks a lot.
