HP Pavilion 13-A290ND X360
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Well, as the title says, will the Samsung 951 512GB Nvme work in my HP Pavilion 13-A290ND X360 laptop? I bought the SSD, I removed my old one, and put the samsung in my laptop but it is not working. The laptop cannot find my SSD. Is it possible to let this SSD work with my laptop? If not, which SSD should I use? I need at least 512gb and it would be fine if I can use 1tb ssd in my model to work with. Thanks for all the support.

From the Manual:

 

Support for M2 SATA-3 next generation form factor (NGFF) solid-state drives

 

So you have a PCI-E M.2 and it needs to be SATA.

Thank you for your reply, can I use more then 512gb SSD with this laptop? Is there any posibility that more GB wil work?
HP Recommended

Yeah if you got the bucks you can put in a 1 TB M.2 which I think is as big as they come right now in most devices. The one I linked above only goes up to 512 GB but 1 TBs are out there. Post back if you need more help.
