[SOLVED] I have an M.2 slot on my motherboard

[LeonerdManechest]

Hello,
I have a laptop here that only has this m.2 slot on it. It was used for a bluetooth card. If I take out the bluetooth card can I then put a m.2 ssd in that slot (besides the fact that it wont have a screw to hold it down)? if so which ssd would fit in it? there are so many different types. (i think)

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

What is the model for your Acer laptop? Is it the one listed in the YouTube video you linked? Given that the laptop doesn't have any other M.2 slot around the board, that slot is meant as the communication's port(i.e, WiFi + BT) for the laptop.

Yeah, I don't you can drop in an ssd in that laptop. From the searching I've done, it's not worth sacrificing that WiFi card, assuming you can ditch the wireless adapter.

I can totally ditch the wireless adapter. I was just wondering if it was possible?

I think your laptop supports a sd memory card.
While not the fastest, it should give you the storage capacity you want.
I used one in a similar laptop; it worked well.
