You're correct that the specs manual does state M.2 support.  The service manual, at least the one I see online does not show M.2 support at all.  I suspect the service manual is definitive - which means checking visually is a good idea for a final confirmation.  That being the case, the only SSD option is to replace the hard drive with a 2.5" SSD (and if you want to keep the hard drive as well, move it to a third-party replacement caddy to the optical drive slot, if you can find one, or put it in a USB case and use it externally.

It will take a larger capacity -- 256 is simply the largest one Dell has tested.  The drive MUST be SATA, not NVMe.

CPU-z is likely reading from the memory module;  Windows shows the actual speed, which depends on the CPU you have installed.
