I believe it should. You should check the model of the SSD in the laptop in My Computer properties, and compare the specs between the two SSDs.

Hi, can I use it to be the C drive and install Win 7 64bit? Does win 7 recognize it as a boot drive?
Asked by: Jorge
Windows 7 does not recognize M.2 during installation. You will have to have drivers on a USB to load at the beginning of OS install process. Win10 does not have this issue. Get the drivers from your motherboard maker.
