How do I connect my m 2 to my laptop?

I'm curious to know, how exactly do I go about connecting my M.2 storage device to my laptop? Is there a specific port or adapter I need to use? I'm not very familiar with hardware upgrades and I want to make sure I do it correctly to avoid any damage. Additionally, are there any compatibility issues I should be aware of before proceeding with the installation? I'd appreciate any detailed instructions or guidance you can provide.
