Upgrading from HDD to SSD

Inspiron 5675

Inspiron 5675

Hi. I own a Dell Inspiron 5675, and am looking to add an M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD to the computer to mitigate the slow speeds of the old HDD. The computer has an AMD Ryzen 7 1700 eight-core processor, an AMD Radeon RX 580 graphics card, 16 GB of RAM, and runs Windows 10. Could anyone help me with which SSDs are compatible, what generation the M.2 slots are, how to install the SSD and copy the HDD drive to put on the SSD, and any other relevant information. Thank you!

if the ssd is at least same capacity as current hdd, you can clone the hdd image to the ssd.

Looks like Dell oem ssd on that list are all sata ssd, not nvme ssd. not sure why nvme ssd is not listed.  although they are slower than nvme ssd, the sata ssd are still much faster than hdd.  What is the size of hdd you have now?

@redxps630​ One terabyte. I would prefer to have an NVMe M.2 because I have the available port. I am just unsure which SSDs are compatible.
