HP Notebook - 15-da0012dx
Microsoft Windows 11

This laptop shows that the drive installed is a SanDisk SD95SN8W-128G-1006 SATA, "B+M" Key drive. I have a spare 256GB SK hynix NVMe drive (HP p/n: L61177-001) from a HP desktop. This is an "M" key drive. Will this laptop accept the spare drive in place of the San Disk drive? If so will there need to be changes made in the BIOS to recognize the drive?

Hi:

 

Since chapter 1 of the service manual indicates that your notebook's M.2 slot supports both NVMe and SATA M.2 SSD's the 256GB SK Hynix NVMe drive you have should work just fine.

Paul,

I saw in the manual that this laptop did support the SATA and the NVMe SSDs, but I was not sure that it would support both verses one or the other. That's why us novices rely so heavily on you experts! Thanks for confirming my suspicions and putting my mind at rest. You are awesome.
