Can i add an SSD m.2 in HP Omen 15-ax202nq?

[zdevilinside]

Do you know if an older XP941-series Samsung PCIe NVMe will work on it?  I am thinking about putting one in my wife's new Omen laptop and do a full on rebuild with the original Windows 10 Professional DVD image I got from school.  I HATE how new systems come with so much bloatware.

Hello @zdevilinside

I believe the XP941 is PCIe AHCI but not NVMe.

The Omen 15 ax202 uses an HM174 chipset.

I have not used one of those drives, thus I hate to actually say yay or nay without hands on.

But I dont think there is any reason it wont work.

If you try it, do let us know the results.
