The physical drive? Maybe, probably. We'd need to know the make/model/size of it.

If you're expecting to use the OS that is on it, no.

I does not have an OS on it. My OS was on the HDD on my old computer. Will that work?

Make/model/size of it?

But yeah, as 'just another drive' it should work.

"GTX 960m" is the GPU, not the SSD.

Ya I realized that it is a
Toshiba XG3 Series THNSN5256GPU7 - solid state drive - 256 GB - PCI Express 3.1 x4

Below the GPU, under that white shroud, there is another M.2 port.
