UPDATE: I took the risk and bought a Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 SSD Gen. 3 because of the specs and found it to be at a good price: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sabrent-Rocket-Internal-Performance-SB-ROCKET-1TB/dp/B07LGF54XR/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3GGP2B04QV3EC&dchild=1&keywords=m.2%2Bnvme&qid=1590501130&sprefix=m.2%2B%2Caps%2C167&sr=8-3&th=1 Installed the drive in the M.2 PCIe slot and started my laptop, in Windows 10 the drive wasn't visible so I went to Disk Management selected the drive (GPT when prompted "You must initialize a disk before Logical Disk can access it") and quick Format, assigned a letter and the drive was visible. Shut down the laptop, removed all other drives and inserted a bootable Windows 10 USB stick, entered BIOS and selected to boot from the USB stick, Windows setup started (make sure to delete the partition and make a new one during Windows setup because Windows will do a few more small partitions)... when complete (just before 1st reboot), removed the USB stick and the setup continued. Windows 10 was installed in minutes, I have tested the drive and I'm getting the speeds advertised by the manufacturer (happy, happy, joy, joy 🙂 Overall, I can confirm that for this laptop model the NVMe SSD upgrade works, Windows 10 boots normally, and everything works as it should. I can recommend also buying a thermal pad or a radiator for the M.2 drives as they get hot, this way the working temperature is lower and the performance is better. ... Meer weergeven

Hi, I wish I could give you the right answer, but I can say that I own a Medion Erazer x7851 and it has a M.2 slot and two SATA slots. At the moment I have a Samsung mznln256hmhq-00000 (factory fitted, regular SATA M.2 SSD) in the M.2 slot and want to find out if I can fit a M.2 NVME drive instead, noticed that you said that you could see that it was and NVMe slot. Can you please let me know where this can be seen? I want to do the upgrade also, but the risk is that if the slot supports only SATA, then the NVMe drive won't be recognized. If NVMe is supported, I'll do the upgrade and let you know if it worked. Thank you! ... Meer weergeven
