Product: HP Probook 440 G5 core i7
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My HP Probook 440 G5 core i7 has a 256 GB SSD. I would like to upgrade to 512 or 1 TB. 

My first question is will this model accommodate 512 or 1 TB? I know motherboards can have limitations.

My second question is how to find the correct SSD. Things have changed since I last upgraded a laptop. 

The memory currently installed is Western Digital PC SN520 NVMe SSD. What search terms will get me to the correct SSD module? SN520 only gets me 256 GB SSDs. I have a picture of the SSD, but I'm pretty sure just getting the right shape isn't all I need to know. Sorry if I seem like an idiot. It has been a few years since I have opened up a computer.

Thank you in advance.

It has M.2 slot which supports 2280 form factor drives therefore you can use 1TB, 2TB or even 4TB M.2 NVMe SSD single sided drive from
