Find a compatible SSD Drive for my laptop

[shozrocks]

Please help.  my disk drive is at 100 percent and my laptop is so slow and is crashing.  I want to replace my hard drive with an SSD.  How do I determine a compatible one to buy?

The specs of your machine is

       https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05792853

It supports DUAL storage with M.2 NVMe/SATA SSD + 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD. It has 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive  now. You can simply add 1TB or 2TB NVMe SSD to your machine  such as

             https://www.crucial.com/ssd/t500/ct1000t500ssd8/ct24662875    (it won't run full speed) or

           https://www.crucial.com/ssd/t500/ct2000t500ssd8/ct24668680    (it won't run full speed) or

             https://www.samsung.com/au/memory-storage/nvme-ssd/970-evo-plus-nvme-m-2-ssd-1tb-mz-v7s1t0bw/

Then make M.2 SSD drive as boot drive, keep old HDD for storage.

thanks Banhien,

The specs on my laptop are alittle different than the one listed here.  I noticed that when i looked closer.  This is what it says on my computer: HP ENVY Laptop 17m-ae1xx

Are the above specs still the same with that model?

Also,  Why does it say in parenthesis (it wont run full speed)?  

I have another question when you say to keep the old drive as storage.  I am not very familiar with the process.  i thought i would open the laptop and switch out the old one for the new one.  How would i keep both?
