The specs for the 7490 say it comes with a SATA SSD.

They also say 3 M2 expansion slots, but they don't say PCIe or NVMe for that...

but then down the page they say

Experience an increase in performance with optional Intel™ 8th Gen processors and PCIe SSD for optimal performance.

SO! I would have to conclude that at least one of the M2 slots supports PCIe/NVMe.....so I would say it should work.
