Welcome to the HP Support Community @DeepOinam

Looks like it will have to be a: PCIe, solid-state drive

You cannot install " Intel Optane " on your model:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000023994/memory-and-storage/intel-optane-m...

What are the base requirements to run Intel Optane memory?

• 7th Generation (or newer) Intel® Core™ Processor.
• Intel® 200 Series Chipset (or newer).
• Intel Optane memory ready UEFI BIOS. Legacy BIOS mode isn't supported.
• Intel® BIOS SATA controller mode set to "Intel® RST...."
• Remapping enabled on the PCIe slot connecting the Intel® Optane™ memory module. (See the motherboard vendors user manual for more information.)
• Windows® 10 x64.
• Intel Rapid Storage Technology 15.5 or newer driver.
• Note: Some features/capabilities are only supported on later drivers, so it's recommended to always use the latest supported on your platform.
• Drive to be accelerated.1:
• SATA-based primary/system boot drive or secondary/data drive.2 
• GPT Partition table is required for SATA disk to be accelerated. (Drives setup with MBR partition tables aren't supported for acceleration.)
• 5MB available at the end of disk.

1 Intel Optane memory can only accelerate SATA-based drives (SSD, SSHD, HDD). You can use it with 2.5", 3.5", or M.2 form factor drives as long as they're connected with chipset lanes. 2  SATA-based data/secondary drive acceleration is supported on select Processor/Chipsets and Intel® RST drivers.
