15-dw1083wm ssd upgrade

[fargodwe]

I recently received my late father's HP 15-dw1083wm, I believe called a "Stream".  I updated the memory to 32gb and wanted to upgrade the SSD.  Not knowing the difference on the m.2 SSD things I researched on the net and I *thought* I understood that a m.2 SATA SSD has 2 notches while nvme has 1.  The stick (128gb) that is in the laptop has 2 notches in the same places as the upgrade I ordered - Kingston RBU-SNS8154P3/256GJ1.  The upgrade is not recognized by the BIOS.  I looked online and it indicates for the upgrade that is nvme, yet it has the 2 notches (M and B) as the original.  I *thought* from my research that nvme only had 1 notch.

So at any rate, can someone perhaps educate me a little more and see if the upgrade will be recognized?

Thank you in advance.

Its specs

It has  128 GB SATA M.2 SSD. You can replace it wit 1TB or 2TB M.2 SATA SSD using compatible drive such as  https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/ssd-860-evo-m-2-sata-250gb-mz...

Machine won't work with M.2 NVMe SSD's

Thanks!   I *thought* I had gotten a sata m.2 based on it having 2 slots on the edge connector like the ones in your link, but since it didn't work I'll try one of those you linked to.

Thanks again!

All I could afford for now was the 256gb Samsung 860 EVO M.2 SATA - works great!   Thank you so much!
