10th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor
16 GB DDR4-2933 SDRAM (2 x 8 GB)
- HP name: Brighton
- SSID: 86ED
- Intel H470
- One M.2 socket 1, Key E, 2230 type for WLAN and Bluetooth
- One M.2 socket 3, Key M, 2280 type for SSD (PCIe x4 or SATA x1)

At last I can confirm the SSD is recognised by the system when I ran system diagnostics via usb HP uefi diagnostics tool.
however when I try to reboot using HP recovery usb, blue screen with NTFS DISK
how to resolve this issue, I think that recovery window cannot use anymore due to ssd replacement. It is true

1. Update BIOS via USB bootable - download file Official HP® Drivers and Software Download | HP® Customer Support
2. Check if SSD is ok and can be detected by the PC - Use HP UEFI diagnostic tool bootable USB download file above link also.
3. If ok, then windows can be installed. The key is HP recovery USB drive cannot be use anymore since we replace the SSD, the key is not the same anymore. Need to do clean installation.
4. Prepare your USB window installation media - Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)
5. Before installing the windows on new SSD, BOIS secure boot to set to disable.
6. DONE.
Since I have only one PC then I prepare the above before replacing new SSD
