Hi Everyone,

Does My Laptop Have Any M2 SSD Slot? I Want To Buy Samsung 960 PRO M2 SSD.

Here's the Service Manual:

It DOES have an M.2 slot:

 

SATA M.2 slot circled in redSATA M.2 slot circled in red

 

HOWEVER, the M.2 slot is for SATA-III M.2 2280 gumstick disks only, not PCIe/NVME so the Samsung 960 is a non-starter. 

 

This is the disk sold by HP with the laptop:

 

GNRC SSD 256GB 2280 M2 SATA-3 Value 865902-001

 

This would work:

Also we have seen that some 15-au models have a blank place where the M.2 connector should be so I would open it up first before buying anything.

People are using their precious remaining lifetime to try and help, so it is common courtesy to come back and tell what the solution eventually was even if you found it elsewhere. It is for the benefit of everyone.
