Does my laptop support NVME SSD

[Arnab15CC]

I want to know whether my HP Pavilion 15CC130TX supports NVME SSD or not.

Hi:

Yes, your notebook has a M.2 slot that supports NVMe SSD's.

See chapter 1 of the service manual for the supported drive types:

Hi,  Thanks for your solution. Can I install WD SN570 500GB NVME?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.

That model SSD would be an excellent choice to install.

Just one more thing, I was thinking about RAM upgrade as well. In that case, do I need to install the exact same Kingston 8gb ram or If I can install a 8 gb ram having the same frequency of another brand as well?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Yes, you may as well, since you have to take the notebook apart.

You can use any brand memory that is compatible with your notebook.

While it would be nice to get the same Kingston part number HP installed, that is not always possible.

Your notebook probably has a DDR4-2400 memory chip installed.

If that is the case, this would be a compatible memory chip for your notebook:

OK thanks. Just one more thing, actually I do have  HP Notebook - 15-ay543tu. Can you please tell me what are the supported SSDs for this laptop? 

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.

The 15-ay543tu does not have a M.2 slot for a SSD.

Only the 15-ay### notebooks that came with a SATA M.2 SSD from the factory have a M.2 slot.

If you want to upgrade to a SSD, you will need to replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive with a 2.5" SSD.

Below is the link to the service manual where you can find the SSD removal and replacement procedure.
