Does the Dell Latitude e7470 Laptop support m.2 NVMe PCIe x4 SSDs? I want to install a Samsung 960 Pro or PM961

It currently came with a mSata 256gb ssd that gets 500mb/s on reads and 300mb/s on writes.
The Samsung PM961 goes up to 3000mb/s and 1100mb/s on reads and writes respectively. The 960 Pro is higher, I believe. Please let me know if you have the exact same laptop.

I have a Dell Latitude e7470, 14" screen, i7-6600u, 16gb ddr4, 256gb ssd msata, fingerprint reader.

In my experience a super fast SSD will only see obvious benefits in very specific applications such as certain video editing situations where a 6Gbps SSD is still a bottleneck.

There appears to be ZERO benefit for loading games, and minimal benefit to no benefit to most other things.

It seems like it supports PCIE 2280, and probably at full speed but again it may be a waste of your money.

I'm not sure if there are different variants but the info I found said there are TWO slots but one is occupied by the wi-fi card, and the other by the M.2 SSD (so apparently it supports SATA and PCIe though again there may be multiple variants... though I wouldn't expect M.2 support to differ).
