Just purchased the 15-CS2073CL from Costco
Bought a Sabrent Rocket NVMe PCIe Mx2 2280 SSD - 1TB.
Got it installed, but can't figure out in Bios where/how to enable.
Showing the following under UEFI Boot Order (no option above to enable the PCIe slot....
OS boot Manager
USB Diskette on Key/USB Disk
USB CD/DVD ROM Drive
! Network Adapter
Solved! Go to Solution.

BOOM - Learn something new every day........You Da Man Banhein....
So - for those still wondering HOW.
Go into the Bios (F10 during system BOOT)
On the Boot screen - I ENABLED the Legacy Boot Devices.
Physically removed the 2.5 SATA Hard drive from the device - careful pulling the ribbon cable off.
Install the M.2 SSD drive - ensure it is properly seated, and tighten the screw to hold it in place.
Reboot with a Win10 Image - Bootable Thumb Drive (created/downloaded from Microsoft)
Windows 10 installed on the SSD Drive (system boot time from power on to login screen - less than 10 seconds)
Next step will be to copy data from old Laptop - format OLD SSD Hard Drive and install as secondary in HP Laptop
I went into the BIOS, ENABLED the Legacy Boot devices, removed the SATA Hard Drive - and what do you know....
Windows 10 boots up in 9 seconds. Thank you MUCHO...

Please remove the old HDD and try again. You can let it run with SSD only for few days or a week (to be sure it runs ok) then format/clear old HDD before put it back for storage.
Regards.
