Assuming it doesn't have any glitches unique to it, Fedora has no problem with an NVMe drive. So long as your BIOS / UEFI firmware supports booting from it you should be good. If you use multiple distros you may find support isn't universal yet. I know PCLinuxOS has problems, they warned about it but I got it to install onto one with some manual fussing. Don't really do a lot of Windows but yea, keep hearing about it being a challenge there unless it is a vendor preload. The PCLinuxOS was on a laptop with a preload of Win10 and it still dual booted ok after the mucking around with UEFI. NVMe is a big break from the old IDE drive world, really expected more breakage.
