Question doesn't make sense - - - - an M.2 is an SSD - - lol
However, that aside, some boards can't boot from M.2, in which case it can only be used for extra storage capacity, so indeed you'd need to install an additional SATA HDD/SSD for the OS.

M.2 drive is still an SSD, just a different interface.
See my previous post, I've edited it, regarding situations where just using an M.2 SSD won't work.

No need to apologise, we were all "noobs" once 
I can't believe 20 years ago I was going to pay someone to fit an optical drive in my PC because I didn't feel confident doing it myself! I forced myself to do it and it was easy - - after that I never looked back.
