Hello I am looking to upgrade my SSD on my 

HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop - 15-dk1035nr

Will it support a gen 4 SSD such as a wb black?

Yes.

 

Your laptop does have support for PCIe NVMe Gen 4 Single sided (2280) M.2 SSD products.

 

An example:

WD_Black M.2 1TB at Amazon.com

Hi, @Misanos4 

 

I will add that yes, your notebook will support a PCIe 4 x 4 NVMe SSD, but since the M.2 SSD slot is only PCIe Gen 3.0, the WD Black NVMe SSD will get nowhere near its maximum advertised read/write speeds.

 

The most you can hope to get from a Gen 3.0 SSD slot is around 3,500 MBPS.
