Im trying to hook up an external GPU to my laptop. I have an external GPU dock wich connects to a PCIe slot. I knew this wasnt going to fit in my laptop, and that i had to get some sort of adapter, if possible. Originally i tought i had to sacrifice my WiFi card slot when connecting an external GPU dock, as seen in all the tutorials i watched on Youtube. Upon opening i found my laptop had three M.2 slots wich my WiFi and SSD card is connected to. The WiFi card has two notches on the right side with the letters E and A (wich i dont know the techical term for) , and my SSD is connected @ an M.2 Key B/M slot, with notches on both sides. Then there is a slot wich i believe is an M.2 Key M slot with a notch on the left side, wich is currently not seated by any device. (see picture)
Same picture if above doesent work:

Im thinking of buying an M.2 Key B/M to PCIe adapter. Will this adapter (see picture) work inside the M.2 Key M slot? Its really convenient if it does, because then i can use the power cables already laid to the free slot to power the adapter. If not, what adapter will work for me? (if you find a link, please put it in the comments, thanks)
(I wont be able to respond anytime soon as im without internet connection until tomorrow, please be patient with any eventual questions, thanks )
PS: in the imgur desctription it says M.2 Key A/M (instead of B/M). This is a typo.
