    Hey, I just want to move my OS into my SSD M.2 Sata but my laptop support claimed that dual storage is not permitted with my device.

    My questions :
    • What is the consequence direct of lack of dual storage?
    • Does it involve undoubtedly the impossibility of booting from SSD?
    • Can I still take advantage of speed if i install some programs on it?

    nil

        It seems with your Laptop if you are using the SATA port you can't boot from the M2 drive.  You may find it easier to either install a large M2 drive and remove the SATA drive. Or Just install a large SSD drive. Both run in your system at about the same speed so there is no real advantage in installing both.

          Finally, it was my bad, I cloned my old system and it has actually failed but I tried to boot from it.
          So my solution : I had to install a new system with both SSD and HDD wired.
