Hello,

I want to add new harddisk to my pc with NVME SSD but i'm not sure it supports and recognizes with my OS.

Please confirm on this HP pc model and mainboard in order to select the right specification of SSD.

HP Pavilion Desktop - 570-p050l

MB: HP 82F2

Windows 10 Build 18945 64 Bit.

Greetings,

Welcome to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

Your motherboard has a M.2 socket next to the PCIe x16 graphics card socket.

You can do a 2280 PCIe M.2 (a SATA M.2 drive may not be recognized by the BIOS) drive in this socket. HP, Samsung, Crucial, and other manufacturers make these drives.

The operating system on the existing platter HDD will see the new SSD after you initialize and format the drive in Disk Management if you use the SSD as a data drive. You can also copy or clone the existing operating system from the HDD to the new SSD. The new SSD will be bootable if you clone the operating system.

Then convert the HDD to a data drive.

Thanks Grzwacz,

I've just ordered this one "INTEL SSD 660p SERIES 512GB" hopefully it would work.

Hi ArnonM,

You're very welcome.

It should work.

Get back to the forum if you need additional assistance installing and configuring the new SSD.

Edited thought, some HP consumer motherboards (I think the Lubin MB may be one of them) only run at PCIe 2.0x4 instead of PCIe 3.0x4. This results in slightly lower M.2 data transfer speeds. A workaround to this is to install a PCIe/ M.2 adapter.

Your motherboard is limited to one PCIe x16 expansion slot. Adding a adapter would not be an option if you have installed a discrete graphics card in the x16 slot.
