Product: pavilion 14 bf125tx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My laptop Pavilion 14 bf125tx is very slow. I planning to install m.2 based SSD since my laptop has m.2 slot. I have some questions

1.  Does my laptop support NVMe based SSD or SATA?.

2. If my laptop supports NVMe based SSD, can I install Samsung 970 evo plus 500GB?

3. If my laptop doesn't support NVMe, can I install Samsung 860 evo 250GB?

 

I prefer to go for Samsung SSD's because of reliability and 5 year warranty they provide. Please advise me.
