How to install M.2 SATA SSD on Lenovo ThinkPad L460 laptop

It's a drag when an older laptop's slow HDD grinds your workflow to a halt, right? My Lenovo ThinkPad was definitely in that boat. I was itching for the speed of an SSD without sacrificing the data on my original HDD. Luckily, my research uncovered a neat trick: the WWAN slot, usually for a 4G LTE module, can actually double as a SATA SSD slot on this model. So, I snagged an M.2 2242 SATA SSD, popped it in, and boom – it worked like a charm! Now, I've got my blazing-fast Fedora install on the SSD and my trusty Ubuntu setup still accessible on the original HDD. This dual-boot combo is working out perfectly!
