[SOLVED] What Mobo can I buy that's compatible with AMD A10 7870k (Black Edition) CPU that has M.2 ssd capability

[VintageUser]

Currently I'm running a gigabyte f2a88xm-d3h < ancient historic artifact from 10 years past....
Entry Level Nvidia card


I have a m.2 ssd at 500gb atm it's not installed.
I work with Graphic Design and video editing and it's not within my budget at moment to go out and upgrade everything. Also do seo and record music < not on this computer, but planned on after installing the m.2.

What motherboard can I buy that takes this CPU and has M.2 Capability?

If not I found an adapter and also a link via google of someone on Toms Hardware talking about how they got it to boot via this motherboard, but data transmission was only I think 1,500 instead of 5g or 6gb or something.

OK I found it but will the m.2 drive i have be compatible? 3.3 1.7a Pcie Gen x 4 Crucial P1m.22280 500gb

From what I'm reading it won't be a compatible boot, is there anything i can do to get it to install a boot image?

A system that old can't really use an M.2 drive, of either type...NVMe or SATA III.

Just get a good quality SATA III SSD. Drop in replacement for any HDD that is in there.
Samsung 860 EVO or Crucial MX500.

I ended up buying it cause I needed a MOBO upgrade and luckily it takes my ram

"it"?

Why would you throw money into a dead platform, in the form of a motherboard upgrade?

to not pay more for anything else, that would mean I'd need a new processor, new ddr4 ram, a new mobo. Welp I made a mistake then, Times are tight and needed stuff to edit videos.

I hope said board was cheap, then. I understand times are tight, for many right now.

It was 100 Brand new. I know sucks. Amazon wanted to charge 175 for the board found a website in Florida.

Ehh this just always testifies how I'm messing everything up at all times or have some sort of curse put on me.
