I found out that my MSI z97 PC Mate does not support m.2 unlike my old broken MSI Z87 G45 Gaming. Which adapter do I need in order for it to work? From what I've googled I need a PCI-e 3.0 x4 adapter or am I wrong?

I'm also worried if it would be able to boot from the adapter but I might probably just go with this.
