XPS 8900, installing PCIe 4.0 SSD
I have a XPS8900 PC purchased in 2016 with the specs reproduced below. Pl. advise if I can install Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe 2TB SSD on this PC.
Further, I already have a small capacity NVMe SSD installed on M.2 NVMe motherboard slot. Does the system have another M.2 NVMe slot on the motherboard?

you can install second m.2 nvme ssd via a nvme to PCIe 3.0 x 4 adapter. But it would not run at PCIe 4.0 speed. board chipset only supports pcie3.0.
Motherboard has only one m.2 slot for ssd.
