Can I add a PCIe NVMe SSD with Hard drive?

Hey, 

My laptop model is HP Pavilion 15-cc623tx 

In the manual guide page 2 in the product descriptio, I find  

Solid-state drive:
For use only on computer models with model numbers 15-cc1xx and 15-cc6xx:
● 512-GB, 2280, Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe), Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe)
solid-state drive
● 256-GB, 2280, PCIe, NVMe solid-state drive

And Dual-storage configurations:

● 2-TB, 5400-rpm, 9.5-/7.2-mm hard drive + 128-GB, 2280 M.2 SATA-3, TLC solid-state drive
● 1-TB, 5400-rpm, 9.5-/7.2-mm hard drive + 256-GB, 2280 M.2 SATA-3, TLC solid-state drive
● 1-TB, 5400-rpm, 9.5-/7.2-mm hard drive + 256-GB, PCIe solid-state drive
● 1-TB, 5400-rpm, 9.5-/7.2-mm hard drive + 128-GB, 2280 M.2 SATA-3, TLC solid-state drive

Now can you tell me is it support samsung 970 evo plus 250 gb SSD?

Or, please recommend any other SSDs. 

Thank you and regards

Apurba.

@Apurba_Apu , welcome to the forum.

Q: Now can you tell me if it support samsung 970 evo plus 250 gb SSD?  I believe that the 970 EVO should work fine.  However, you will have to remove the HDD to add a 250 GB SSD.  Here are the SSD's that are recommended by Crucial Memory.

Or, please recommend any other SSDs.  See above.

Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide for the laptop.  It has all of the information that you will need to add the M.2 SSD and replace the HDD with a SSD.

@Apurba_Apu, you are welcome!

A: Yes, that configuration should work fine.  The best way to get the SSD as the boot drive is, leave the HDD as the boot drive.  Install a cloning software on it.  Install the SSD.  Run the cloning software.  It will ask for the Target drive and that will be the SSD.  Once the HDD is cloned to the SSD, you will go into the BIOS and change the boot order to the SSD.  Then, the SSD should be the boot drive.
