HP Pavilion All-in-One - 24-r114
Microsoft Windows 11

Hello, I have no idea what I am doing, but through some processes, I was able to learn that Optane Memory is not installed on my computer and this might be the cause of Boot problems.
Often when I go to wake up my computer after it has been idle/sleep for a while, it says that there is no Boot Device installed and to install an operating system on my Hard Drive. Hard Disk - (3F0)
I have to turn it off and unplug it to get it to register the Hard Drive. Today it almost didn't work.
I took it to Geek Squad and they said my Hard Drive is working fine, that I just need to turn it off each time and not let it go to sleep.
The warranty expired, how can I get this Optane Memory installed?

The specs of your machine is

It did NOT come with Optane. It has a spare M.2 SSD slot. You can add/install M.2 NVMe SSD drive to this spare slot and use it as boot drive. Machine will run much faster.

Thank you.
So hopefully I can figure out how to do that.
Please forgive me for asking silly questions...once the N.2 NVMe SSD is installed, how will it know to boot from that drive? Will I need to delete the old one?
