After removing the cover, the SSD slot is on the bottom right, right next to the battery.
Make sure you have grounded yourself before you start handling. There is a huge risk of damaging components. Use an antistatic wrist strap.
To remove the SSD, simply remove the single screw that holds it. Lift the SSD to a 30-degree angle and pull it from its slot.

Does the M.2 interface in this board support NVMe M.2 SSD’s?

It does! It has only one plastic piece (I forgot what the proper term is), not 2.

Without RAM you cannot start the computer, it is an essential component.

Without SSD you have no storage so you can't install Windows.
