How can I determine if I can use Optane memory in my HP Envy Laptop

[CHSSUM]

Thank you for you quick response below.

The URL does not work - I get  error - Page Not found.

I gather from your response below is that I need to check the manual reference in this URL to determine if my motherboard and BIOS support Optane memory.  I do not see any Optane reference in my current BIOS, maybe I need to upgrade the BIOS?

Your Earlier response:

I checked the specifications of your computer and see that your computer does support Intel Optane memory. It supports 16 GB (Optane memory module)

However, I recommend you check in BIOS, for a system to support system acceleration with Intel® Optane™ memory, specific support is required in the system BIOS.

Motherboards and systems that are enabled with this support will be listed as Intel® Optane™ memory ready.

Please refer to the below service guide for your computer for more information.

Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

Chapter 1 has the supported storage configurations.

I don't see that Intel Optane memory is supported, even though NVMe M.2 SSD's are supported.

I believe that your notebook's BIOS needs to have a setting to enable/disable Intel Optane memory.

One would normally only want to use Intel Optane memory to accelerate a 2.5" mechanical hard drive.

If you have a 2.5" mechanical hard drive installed now, you can install a M.2 NVMe drive and use that for better performance.
