Product: HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-cx0xxx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I wanted to change my 128 GB SSD to 1 TB. The Crucial scan reveals that I can move to the 500 GB Crucial P5 plus. Is the 1 TB a possibility for the laptop or not?

Hi:

 

The crucial memory report for the model series indicates you can go as high as 2 TB.

 

Memory RAM & SSD Upgrades | hp - compaq | pavilion gaming 15 | Pavilion Gaming 15 (Models 15-cx0000 ...

 

I would not buy the P5 Plus because your notebook's NVMe slot is only Gen 3, so the P5 plus, which is Gen 4, will not run at its highest rated speed.  That is unless you plan on transferring the P5 Plus SSD to a newer PC a few years in the future.

 

Either go with the P5 or perhaps the Samsung 980 (not Pro).
