Hi:

It may be possible that since your notebook did not come with a M.2 SATA SSD from HP, that there is no M.2 slot.

If you look at chapter 3 of the service manual, an additional parts are needed to add the M.2 slot to the motherboard.

I highly recommend that you open up the notebook first to confirm there is a M.2 slot there before buying a SATA M.2 SSD, which would be the only type M.2 SSD that would work.  NVMe SSD's are not supported in your notebook.
