Just completed an itx build and my question is which of the two M.2 slots on my ASUS Z690i board would I utilize for my 1TB NVME for my "C" Drive/OS installation? Want to plug it into the correct slot. On this board they are stacked one on top of the other. I assume it would be the one that...

UPDATE:
Thanks everyone for their help. I understand things now ?
