You did not provide enough information about your system. I'm assuming that you are right and you have an Optane Memory installed in M.2 slot, which accelerate the 2TB HDD. If this is the case, please verify that your BIOS is set to UEFI boot mode and the SATA Mode in BIOS is set to "Intel RST Premium with Optane". Before replacing the Optane Memory module with 500GB NVMe SSD:
1. Disable the Optane engagement, using the Optane Memory and Storage Management Application that you must have installed in your Windows. Failing to do this will cause to loose your access to the HDD, once the Optane Memory is replaced.
2. Run the MSCONFIG and set the Windows boot mode to SAFE. Reboot your computer and verify that it is booting in SAFE mode.
3. Reboot into BIOS and change the SATA mode from "Intel RST Premium with Optane" to "AHCI". Save the setting and reboot into Windows.
4. Run MSCONFIG again and change the Windows boot mode to NORMAL. Reboot your computer.
Now, you computer is ready to accept the new SSD in place of the disabled Optane Memory module.
