I have bought a WD SSD 250 gb blue for my laptop that connects using the pcie slot. I tried cloning the OS that won't work and a clean reinstall won't boot saying it has encountered a problem. Has anybody got any info that could help thank you

An m.2 WD Blue SSD will not work in a PCIe slot on your motherboard.
At all. Ever.
If that is indeed an actual PCIe m.2 port.

The WD Blue drive is a SATA drive.

If an 850 or 860 will work, so should the WD Blue.
All 3 are SATA based drives.

For some reason the WD blue won't work Ive done alot of things like a clean reinstall and clo being to it. Called WD to see to why their cloing software doesn't work is because their own drives are not getting picked up by their software. I'm just going to return it and use the samsung because multiple people have had success. I've reinstalled my os on my hard drive so I should be able to clone it using the samsung migration software.
