My DELL Inspiron 5593 actually does have a M.2 512GB KIOXIA NVMe SSD,
which I need to use! The problem, as I described here without getting
a solution for it:

is that I can't access/change the BIOS settings on my own laptop to
make the hdd work in AHCI mode, I think. I have also read that Debian
Linux has problems operating such cards:

I purchased a Dell XPS 8930 with an NVMe dirve. Debian and Fedora did
not recognize the NVMe. I had to use Ubuntu 18.04 for the drive to be
recognized. I'm not sure what Ubuntu is doing that Debian is not, but
I suspect it has something to do with updates. Debian tends to stick
with old and broken software. They will not upgrade for users. – jww

You may know how to deal with such problems, better than I do, since
I don't tend to mind the intricate technical details about computer
hardware, even though I understand well the physics in them.
Every piece of computer hardware my paranoia uses seems to have a
mind of its own. I have decided to not use computers (do all the
writing by hand on paper), but the data processing and algorithmic
basis of my paper I have to do on a computer.
Any suggestions?
