I just purchased an HP Pavilion laptop, Product Number 5GN87UA, product name 15-cs0025cl. The specific model I purchased comes with a 1TB HDD, but no SSD. I see from the manual at https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-15-cs0000-laptop-pc/20284004/manuals that is does have an M.2 slot for adding an SSD, but the manual lists both SATA-2 and NVMe drives under the "Storage" specifications. I am trying to determine what type of M.2 slot the computer has and what type of drive that it is compatible with, so that I may get the SSD drive ordered as well. Also, I know what TLC refers to with the SATA drives, but what does it mean by "value" in the "PCIe, value" or "NVMe, value" description?
Thank you for your help!

Just to close this discussion, I found another post on the forum asking about this same issue. In short, it does have NVMe support. Link to other discussion: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Adding-SSD-to-HP-Pavilion-15-c...
