Or buy an external USB3 case and run the SSD that way. Will be great.
3 out of 3 MRFers agree with this.
I run my 2014 iMac from an external NVMe via USB 3. No problems at all. Cost is about the same as a 2.5" SSD +/- $10.
Plug, play, go.
Skip the whole internal thing.

Appreciate the info. Haven't tried this before.
It will search for this external every time on restarts and after shut down?
