This is indeed interesting. AFAIK your ProBook 640 G1 is not compatible with an M.2 SSD.

Take a look at the following Maintenence & Service guide.

What slot did you put it in? Was it a WWAN slot?

I have not explained well, my pc recognizes the disk m.2, I have 3 operating systems installed on it and they work fine as long as the boot disk is the hdd or a usb. If only the disc m.2 does not start

Can you take a digital picture of that and post it here so I can see what you mean?

That would involve hacking the BIOS. 

 

The BIOS websites will be a place to find out how to do that or to have it done.

 

 

There is, of course, a risk involved and it is all yours.
