Thats exactly what Im going to, sorry i get ahead of myself and its surely showing through,lol. But i will indeed add the M.2 and set it up as my boot. thats sure to give the jump in speed im so lacking currently. i believe a 258Gb m.2 SATAIII or should i go larger? for boot the 258 will do what im looking for correct?

There's always the little tech surprises but that M.2 meets the required specs and should work for you. 

 

HP specifies this M.2

 

256-GB solid-state drive (SSD) 813081-001

 

 

Appears to be a B + M connector 2280 form factor and the 850 Evo is the same:

Looks like a 2280 form factor to me. I would open it up and measure the slot before buying a 60mm disk.
