I hope it turns out that “voices38” was just an AI that accidentally got out of containment

If this person shared the original discs, how did they know the pirate is using their copy to burn discs? Unless the pirate did something dumb……

The specs of your motherboard says M2_1 slot only works with 11th gen CPU but yours is 10th gen. That could be why the SATA board doesn’t work.

I’d like to use a aliexpress M.2 to RJ45 adapter on the Chromebook.

Make sure it is of the right kind. M.2 Wi-Fi slots are key E, M.2 SSD slots are key M (mostly) and cards made for 1 kind does not fit the other.

If the slot is for Wi-Fi it should have PCIe as that is what most Wi-Fi modules connect to. USB is used for Bluetooth mostly.
