Can I upgrade my 256 M2 into 1 TB v4

[Platinum2001]

Hello .. I have hp laptop pavilion 14 bf100nx which comes with 256 M2 

I bought a new 1 TB v4 m2 and tried to install windows with no luck 

Any compatibility issue?

The specs of your machine is

             https://support.hp.com/id-en/document/c05757845

It has  1 TB 5400 rpm SATA. You are saying it has 256GB of M.2 SSD, that is a bonus.  I don't know (and have not heard) what is v4  therefore I can't comment on that.  Please use existing specs (from Device Manager) of the current drive (with larger capacity).

Regards.

Yes it comes with 256 m2 and 1 TB HDD 

So I want to upgrade the m2 to higher capacity.. there fore I bought Kingston v4 M2 1 TB but it's not detected

I fixed the 1TB Kingston in the m2 slot but it's not detected.. so I thought it might be a capacity limitation issue

No, the limit is huge. I don't know what is your M.2 Kingston (I think you bought PCIe Gen 4 or NVMe 4x4) but your machine supports M.2 SATA, not NVMe. You bought a wrong drive. Please use 1TB or 2TB M.2 SATA such as
