@miestapower , welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately, the Product Specifications don't state if you have a M.2, SSD or a Hard Drive Disk (HDD) installed: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-gaming-15-dk0000-laptop-pc/26122224/model/37933873/...

Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06377664

On Pages 36 thru 38 is a list of Hard Drives (HDD) and instructions for removing and installing them.  You could remove the HDD and install a standard SSD.

On Pages 41 and 42 is a list of NVMe, M.2, SSD's, that are compatible with the motherboard and instructions on removing and installing them.

If you are not proficient with working on computers/laptops it is recommended that you allow an Authorized Service Provider do the install.  The repairs won't void your warranty, but if you damage other components the warranty is void.
