I would say no, you are wasting money to run an NVMe drive far slower than it is capable if you use any type of adapter assuming that you could even find one to fit. (highly unlikely)
Moreover your bios will not support NVMe as a boot device, so even if you were lucky enough to make it work (unlikely), it would just be for extra storage.
Go with a good (and cheaper) SATA III SSD. You would not notice any difference anyway in such a use.
Futile expensive experimentation is not where you want to focus your $$ and energy.

Hello there is a way to install a module like a m.2 nvme into a laptop that does not have one?
Like i would like to put a nvme ssd into my laptop but i only have sata III slot.
If there can be a way i would like to experiment

No you can't. The laptop lacks the basic wiring and brain to handle that drive.
And even if you could, there would be little actual performance increase over a regular SATA III SSD.

There are adaptors to install any m.2 drive to a SATA III drive, but to use an nvme drive in one of those would be a waste, since you would still be limited to the SATA III speed and could not make good use of a nvme drive (even if it did somehow work, which I would seriously doubt in the first place).
Your other option would be to use the mini pci express slot, which usually has your wifi card in it. By removing it (if you use a network cable, usb wifi or just don't need network or internet connection) you could try to use this slot. Which also would not benefit much from it, because the mini pci express slot runs at pci 1x speed, making it slower than SATA III.
