Hi @Menherrx1,

Good Day! Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!  I reviewed the post about the support for SSD on your computer. It will be awesome to assist you

First off, Hats off to you for a job well done as you have tried some smart research  before posting the query in the HP forums. It is amazing to see how technically competent you are. It is always a privilege to work with tech-savvy customers like you. We definitely value your relationship with HP.

Please visit this link to find the product specifications of your  notebook: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-ENVY-15-Notebook-PC-series/7771345/model/8524938/document/c04...

It has a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7-5500U with Intel HD Graphics 5500 processor. The reason I am highlighting this is because that is the prerequisite for M.2 SSD drives support.

I will also include a link for the service manual of your notebook: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04691689

So going by the service manual the M.2 SSD slot for solid state drives is available and should ideally support msata cables. Please refer pages 2 and 3 of the service manual for more details. However, I would request you to contact a technician locally, like BestBuy or Staples and then decide about any upgrade.

HP generally does not recommend upgrading either the operating system or the computer’s hardware as the components that were initially installed with the unit are certified by HP for optimum performance. However, you could upgrade the unit’s hardware at your discretion after consulting a technician locally.

Hope this helps. Let me know how this goes. I genuinely hope the issue gets resolved without hassles and the unit works great. Please reach out for any issues and I'll be there to assist you.

Take care now and have a splendid week ahead.
