HP Pavilion 14 BF102TX
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi guys, I have a HP Pavilion 14 BF-102TX.

1. My question is can I use this particular M.2 SSD  for my particular model of laptop:

 

https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/adata-xpg-sx8200-pro-512gb-3d-nand-nvme-gen3x4-pcie-m2-2280-solid...

 

2. My other question is, will this M.2 SSD work along side my internal SATA SSD drive installed too?

3. can i only use one or the other or can both be used in my laptop together?

4. Also, most importantly, what is the Exact spec of my M.2 slot?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you update regarding this particular M.2 SSD that i posted because i have already ordered it

A1. No, it won't work. You can use M.2 SATA 3, not NVMe SSD,

A2. Yes, you can use dual storage M.2 SATA + normal 2.5" SATA.

A3. You can use one of them if you wish. For example one for Windows and other one for Linux

A4. See A1.

 

Regards.

Thank you very much for all your advice regarding this. Much appreciated. I will cancel my current order of the NVME SSD and re order the SATA 3 M.2 instead. Thanks @Benhien
