Just to clarify: Optane is a speed-boosting technology that essentially acts like faster and increased capacity cache. It make the greatest difference with used with standard (platter) HDDs, less difference (but some) with typical 2.5" SSDs. This is because it is designed to work with the SATA bus. Since it uses the same PCIe connector as an NVMe drive, I don't see how it would affect the speed of such a drive in any way, nor how could you connect it: you would have to have the PCIe connector on the motherboard connect to the Optane memory, which in turn would connect to the NVMe drive!

If you want to put it in as a primary drive, the process is a little more difficult, depending on whether you have Optane, whether you want to do a fresh install vs cloning your current drive, etc.
