An SSD has no spinning platters and no moving read head, so it finds data almost instantly and is less sensitive to knocks than a hard drive. An M.2 module is just a small circuit board: it takes up no room in the case and fits thin laptops and compact desktops where a 2.5-inch drive would not.
Anyone who wants to give an older computer a new lease of life with a quick system drive for Windows and everyday programs. 250 GB is a sensible size for the operating system, office software and a browser; a large photo and video collection is better kept on a second drive. It also suits office and school computers that do not need much space.

The manufacturer does not specify the interface. An M.2 slot can take either NVMe or SATA drives, but not every slot supports both. Before installing, check the computer or motherboard manual to see which type of M.2 drive the slot accepts.
For the operating system, office programs, a browser and documents, yes. If you plan to keep a large photo library, videos or games on the computer, add a second drive or use an external hard drive alongside it.
Yes, with cloning software. The used space on the old drive has to be under 250 GB. If there is more data than that, move some files to another drive before cloning.
