Can I boot from the PCle NVME SSD

I have a Dell Precision 7520 laptop. The Win 10 pro OS is currently on a SATA HDD.  I wonder if I could put the OS on a PCle NMVE SSD and boot from that.  I could not find any clear answers in the User's Guide.  Dell Knowledge Base Article 000132465 seems to indicate that it is possible on some of their models with some BIOS changes but it does not specifically list the Precision 7520 model.  Naturally, I want to be sure it can be done before I proceed to buy a PCle NVME SSD.   Thank you.

Yes, the Precision 7520 can certainly boot from an NVMe solid state drive.  You can use a cloning software to clone the SATA HDD to the new NVMe drive, then remove the SATA HDD, the system should boot as normal.

@Chino de Oro​ Thanks for reassuring me.  I thought and hoped I could do this.
