I have HP Pavilion 15 bc507nm laptop with Kingston  [edited] M.2 SATA 128GB and want to replace it with a better one. Does this laptop support NVME M.2 and which generation?

The only place I could find a service manual for that model series is at the link below:

 

Product description, Model numbers: 15-bc300~15-bc399 | HP Pavilion 15-bc500 | Maintenance and Servi...

 

According to chapter 1, page 16 of the manual, the notebook supports M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs.

 

The PCIe slot generation is 3.0.

 

A Gen 4.0 NVMe SSD will work fine but it will not run at its maximum advertised read/write speeds from the Gen 3 slot.
