Aurora R11, would like to add another M.2 NVMe SSD

Just received my Alienware Aurora r11 and I need some expertise help

My specs are the following = 10700kf. 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD (Boot) 1TB 7200rpm (Storage) 32GB memory, 1,000 watts power supply, high performance all in one liquid, 3080 video card, Windows Home Edition.

The computer basically for the game,  Flight Simulator 2020. Which contains 120GB.

I would like to install flight simulator 2020 on its own separate M.2 NVMe SSD drive.

I understand on this Micro ATX.motherboard there is only one slot for an M.2 drive.

 Thus, please explain to me how I can install a second M.2 NVMe SSD

Appreciate all the help and guidance

That was a real nice video.  Yes I a big fan of the flight simulator until my last computer crashed 3770k.

I know flight simulstor x would install it on separate drive.

Want to do the same with flight simulator 2020

 Appreciate the tip about render scaling option.

    I bought this computer mainly for gaming and it was delivered to me about 10 days ago, and the monitor finally shipped today and should be here by Wed

install flight simulator 2020 on its own separate M.2 SSD.drive. wont improve frame rate for a game.

Ryzen 7 3700X, RTX 2070, and 32 GB RAM is a recommended setup

If you’re running less-powerful hardware, a quick fix to help put you over the sweet 60 FPS target is to use the Render Scaling option. It starts on 100, but lowering it down to 90 or less can help you gain an extra few fps with minimal impact to visuals.

SSD will only improve loading times not increase frame rate.

  • Thanks a lot about using an adapter this way I could have my second M.2.

Just curious not the smartest with computers, after installing the Adapter, do I have to do anything in the bios?

Or just go to disk management ?

 Saw this on sale at Best buy 1tb 149.99.  This would be a good fit.

 In the service manual could use either #15 or :18 ?  Not sure which one ? This is on page 10.
