I want to upgrade the SSD with Samsung 990 Pro PCIe4 NVMe M.2 SSD - 1TB.

 

Laptop Model: 15-an031ng

 

I want to make sure before buying a Samsung 990 pro SSD, that my Laptop will support it or not?

 

Thank you in advance,

@Alfa29,

 

Unfortunately, your model doesn't come with an M.2 slot.

 

HP specs indicate your model came with a 2.5" hard drive.

 

Your only option would be to replace the 1 TB 2.5" hard drive with a 2.5" SATA SSD, which is much faster than a hard drive. You can get something like this.

Your service manual wrongly states your model comes with an M.2 slot that supports SATA SSDs.

But actually, 15-an0xx model series has no M2 slot. See this thread for the folks' comments.
