M.2 M key SSD in a B key socket

0

My laptop has two M.2 slots -- one being a “M” key M.2 2280 and one “B” key M.2.

The problem is I have two SSDs that are both "M" key. Is there an adapter or something where I can connect a "M" Key SSD to a "B" key slot?

No-- M key SSDs are built to use four PCIe lanes and B keyed interfaces don't provide this. So you can't use two M key SSDs on the board you describe....
