Hi:

I recommend this one...

Samsung Electronics (MZ-V8V500B/AM) 980 SSD 500GB - M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drive wi...

Below is the link to the service manual, where you can find the SSD removal and replacement procedure.

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

According to the manual there is a second M.2 slot for a NVMe SSD, so you may be able to add it there and just use it for file storage.

Hi, Paul

I really appreciate your help but i still have a couple questions if you could answer them that would be great

First, The ssd you recommended me. does it specifically need to be that exact ssd and second, could you please elaborate on what you mean by "According to the manual there is a second M.2 slot for a NVMe SSD, so you may be able to add it there and just use it for file storage." if i put the ssd in the second M.2 slot can i use it for gaming storage and please let me know if there are any downsides to the ssd in performance.

Kind Regards,
