Compatible M.2 SSD for HP Pavilion Gaming Notebook K3D61EA#ABU

Hi,

Pardon my English as I am not a native English speaker.

My question;

I my laptop actually able to 'see' the M.2 SSD and use it to install my OS? If it does, is it the SATA III inferface or the PCIe interface?

My aim is to boot from the M.2 SSD and have my HDD as a storage. Thanks for the help.

 This shows how to disassemble it and the location for the M.2 slot:

HP has made the Service Manual hard to locate but the M.2 slot can only accept SATA type disks, not PCIe/NVME. 

There are several ways to get the OS onto the M.2 and configure the hard drive for storage. 

Post back with additional questions.

I think it is a different subject. The BIOS won't update.  Thanks, Huffer!
