I can't find its specs, only its parts list

          https://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?searchText=6RM11EA

which says it has 1TB of 7200RPM HDD part # 848195-800 now. I believe it uses Lincs motherboard

          https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05991291

which has  One M.2 socket 3, 2280 type for SSD and this port supports M.2 NVMe SSD such as Samsung 970 EVO series.

I have a 1tb hdd installed, but it takes forever to boot.. so i can buy the 970 1tb ssd ? Because i read somewhere that it might accept up to 500gb .

@ZZFrankenstein,

According to HP's specs, your rig has one M.2 socket 3, 2280 type for SSD. Your desktop should have no issues whatsoever having an NVMe SDD installed.  For example, I installed a Samsung EVO 970 Plus M.2 1TB SSD as my primary drive on an HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF -see last link below.  Booting up and read/write speeds are insanely fast!

Btw, you should create an HP Recovery USB media as a backup prior to installing your OS first: HP PCs - Creating a Recovery Image on Discs or Saving a Recovery Image to a USB Flash Drive (Windows...
