I'm trying to upgrade my main hard drive SSD M.2 but I'm not sure about it's size. How do I find out the size of the SSD I want to buy will fit my motherboard? My pc model is HP Pavilion 690-0009 Desktop Rfrbd PC, detailed help would be much appreciated.

Welcome to our HP User Forum!
Your HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 690-0009 (3LA48AA) with a Lincs motherboard (SSID: 843B), according to: https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp---compaq/pavilion-690-0009, can be fitted with any size M.2 NVMe SSD, even 4TB -whatever your budget allows.
The Lincs motherboard is fitted with a Gen3 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD slot, and Gen4/Gen5 M.2 NVMe SSDs are also backward compatible but will run at Gen3 read/write speeds.
Hope this was helpful.

hi
indeed @AliMamoon1 come tells you so well @NonSequitur777 the crucial site is perfect
but you have a huge chance here, because users have reported, some models used, compatible
namely, that if the model tested is smaller, there are generally several possible sizes 250 gb 500 gb 1to 2to , of the same type, so it must work!
HP EX900 SDD NVMe
attention because it seems confusing standard point of view
