Does upgrade my Pavilion 15-au020wm HDD to SSD will void the warranty?

Yes you took a picture but it was of the DVD drive bay and slot. I said it was to the left of the hard drive.  Perhaps by accident, you did get a picture of the M.2 slot area but it is turned sideways. I turned it the right way and circled where the M.2 slot would be and all you have is the bare traces on the motherboard. No M.2 slot so the advice we gave was perfect, even though the results are not what you wanted. You opened it up and looked and you have no M.2 slot. Saved you the cost of an M.2 disk. Sorry it did not work out:

Any more questions? Please accept as solution if you see that this helped you.

So I will have to buy a 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD and not a M.2 SSD. Do you think that this SSD is compatible with my laptop?

Thank you very much.

Yes but you do not need the 2.5 inch to 3.5 inch adapter bracket.
