Can I install a NVMe Card in my Pavilion 4BQ45UA#ABL

[Retiredmseop]

I have noticed what looks like a NVMe slot on the Motherboard but would like to know if I am correct for my type of Pavilion. If I can install a Card, what storage size would I be restricted to, example, this slot can only use a 28 gig card etc...

Thanks in advance for your help. I find the Service or user Manuals do not specify what actually is in the Laptop just a generic list of what might be there.

Pavilion 15-cs0010ca

Product # 4BQ45UA#ABL

Sorry, should have asked if a larger capacity, 1TB, could be installed instead of the 512 GB in the Service Manual. Is 512 GB the Maximum size for my Laptop? 

if a 1TB is ok, what could you recommend? Thanks again...
