I have a 2016 Razer blade stealth with a 128GB Nvme drive in it, I'm wanting to increase the capacity but don't need the nvme speed. Can I install a non nmve M.2 drive like WD's line in my laptop? Haven't been able to find anything solid online with people doing this. Thanks.

There are 3 different types of M.2 ports. There's the combo port, there's the SATA only ports and PCIe only ports (they are keyed so you cannot put other type in them).
