It is very simple/straightforward. Ignoring the 2008 Tutorial music, this is a decent video to get an idea of what you need to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCTFABytrYA

Yes, it's very straight forward and simple.

any Z370 will have at least one and probably two M.2 NVME slots....

Confirmed, your board supports two M.2 drives, but, probably at the expense of a one or two SATA ports for each utilized...

Yes Exactly this answer what am I looking for,,, i wanna just understand This sentence ( probably at the expense of a one or two SATA ports for each utilized ) That's what am missing

Each m.2 slot you use disables a sata port. Your board should have 8 sata and 2 m.2. If you use the top m.2 it disables sata 0 and 1. If you use the bottom m.2 it disables sata 4 and 5. If you use both m.2 sata 0,1,4 and 5 are disabled. You get 6 drives max.

The Extreme4 supports those SSD's natively. For every m.2 SSD used, you will lose the functionality of one/two SATA ports depending on certain specs. Nothing to worry about. Everything should be compatible.

According to your motherboard manual:
Storage • 6 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s Connectors, support RAID (RAID 0,
RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10, Intel Rapid Storage Technology
15), NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug*
• 2 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s Connectors by ASMedia ASM1061, support
NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug
* M2_1, SATA3_0 and SATA3_1 share lanes. If either one of
them is in use, the others will be disabled.
* M2_2, SATA3_4 and SATA3_5 share lanes. If either one of
them is in use, the others will be disabled.

Those connectors SHOULD be labeled in the manual as well.

Asrock z370 extreme 4 also supports the WD BLACK SN850 NVMe SSD . I just installed it on my motherboard.
And i got these results. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/49214445
Also Crystal Diskmark gave higher numbers at reading and writing x5times at 1GB SEQ1M Q8T1.
I got Reading 3544.14 MB/s and writing 3275.61 MB/s

Yeah, at half the advertised speed. You don't buy an expensive gen4 SSD to let it run at gen3 speeds.
