I appreciate the offer, but my system is an older used Dell Precision T7500 manufactured in 2009, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't support NVMe or SSD, so don't bother.
1) If your system supports SATA (which was very normal by 2009, though probably 3 MB/s) then there are SSD drives that will plug in. SATA doesn't care about the drive technology.
2) There are SATA<->NVMe converters out there. Effectively you're just making your own SSD using components.
3) There are also PCIe<->NMVe adaptors.
For (2) & particularly (3) you have to shop carefully to be sure you are getting the right combo of interfaces. But both are cheap - around $10 for a (2).
