Welcome to HP Support Forum. HP 255 G5 is a series of many laptops. Depending on option, each machine can have

6.35-cm (2.5-in) SATA hard drives in 9.5-mm (.37-in) and 7.0-mm (.28-in) thicknesses

Single hard drive configurations:
● 2-TB, 5400-rpm, 9.5-mm
● 1-TB, 5400-rpm, 9.5-mm
● 500-GB, 5400-rpm, 7.2-mm

SSHD configuration:
● 1-TB, 5400-rpm + 8GB NAND Hybrid hard drive, 9.5mm

M.2 SATA-3 configurations:
● 256 GB
● 128 GB

Does your machine have M.2 SSD now ?  If not, the chance is you can't upgrade to M.2 SSD.

Regards.

As mentioned above, for single storage with normal HDD option, you won't get M.2 slot. Please buy the M.2 SATA option. With this option, machine has an empty HDD bay and you have to buy  Hard Drive Hardware Kit ( hard drive brackets and cable), spare part number 859515-001 (ETB), and 859516-001 (non-ETB).
