Does my laptop have NVME slot!?

[AceehLay16]

Hi guys!

I bought an HP Laptop last 2020. Model is HP 17-by2000 Laptop PC series (7EF33AV) and it’s still using a Hard drive. It’s now taking so low to boot up even if it’s still has plenty of space. (still have 320GB out of 1TB). When I tried opening applications, it takes few minutes like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. I would like to replace the hard drive with an NVME SSD but I don’t know if my laptop have a slot for it. I tried searching the internet but I can’t find any articles that says it’s NVME SSD capable. Can someone tell me if my laptop model can have the NVME SSD? Thanks in advance!

Hi:

When I enter the product number you posted in the HP partsurfer website, I get this specific model number.

If your notebook has an Intel 10th gen core processor like the above model, it has a M.2 slot that supports NVMe SSD's.

Below is the link to the service manual.  Chapter 1 has the supported drive types.

HP only has the manual for the older 17-by1xxx models, but you can see that even those had M.2 slots that support NVMe SSD's.

You're very welcome.

Yes, the Samsung 980 NVMe SSD should work just fine in your notebook.
