Can I add a M.2 PCIe SSD to HP Envy 750c desktop PC

[Rolmanjr]

I recently purchased an Envy 750c desktop from Costco.com.    I would like to add a M.2 PCIe SSD to the computer.    The specs show an M.2 slot but I'm not sure where it is on the motherboard and/or if a M.2 80mm, PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD can be used.

Hi,

What is it actually, must be 750-xxx  please check its label at the back. For example the following machine has

• Expansion Slots:
  • 1 PCI Express x16 (Gen3.0)
  • 1 PCI Express x1 (Gen3.0)
  • One M.2 socket 1, key A
  • One M.2 socket 3, key M

and

Socket 1 is designed for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®, NFC and WI Gig

Socket 2 is designed for WWAN, SSD (caching) and GNSS

Socket 3 is designed for SSDs (both SATA and PCIe, up to x4 performance)

That means we can add a M.2 type SSD to this machine.

Regards.
