Its a M.2 SSD but im not really sure if its compatible with the slot that the motherboard has specially for M.2 storage
(Not good at english and also very new to PC's so i would appreciate if you were kind to me)

Greetings!

Your m.2 in question is B+M, meaning it can fit either socket type as far as I can tell. The motherboard has the "M" keying, and the m.2 has it (as well as B), and can take up to the 2280 sizing standard (which your m.2 is), so it should fit. Storage is storage, so if it fits, it should work. Your m.2 was originally designed for the HP Envy X2 notebook, but it is standard form factor, so there shouldn't be any issue there either.

Unless I have missed something, you should be good to go!

Hope this helps!

Alright, thanks one last question..
If it was supossed to be for a notebook will it be worse than a a regular ssd? talking about speed
I would go for a regular sata ssd but this guy in my area sells the M.2 one really cheap and im on a budget

The m.2 is an SSD, it just communicates to the motherboard in a different manner. It might even be faster due to direct connection and no cable resistance. I would say pick up the m.2 if it is nice and cheap, it should be plenty fast.
