@ENVEY_USER_685 , welcome to the Community.

 

Samsung SSD's seem to work best with HP BIOS/UEFI's.  Therefore, if you have a SATA power connector on the PSU and SATA data cable and SATA port on the motherboard that can be used, it should work fine.  I have used several Samsung EVO 850's with HP computers.
