By reading the specifications: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B360M-GAMING-HD-rev-10/sp#sp it shows that the M.2 socket supports PCIe and SATA M.2 disks:
M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280 SATA and PCIe x4/x2 SSD support)
NVMe is the protocol for PCIe SSDs, which use M.2 key M form factor. Wireless cards use key E. Therefore the selected SSD should work on your board.

There are steps in the manual on page 16 for installing an M.2 SSD. This is for a B360 D3H but it might work for you. https://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_b360m-d3h(gsm)_1002_e.pdf
