Hp Probook x360 11 G1 EE wont detect M.2 slot

[rpmustang]

Hello I have a Hp Probook X360 11 G1 EE with a EMMC 64gb on board storage and was trying to install a M.2 SSD but for some reason the Probook is not recognizing the M.2 slot with the Drive any help Would be much appreciated.  I have updated the Bios to the latest version and still nothing wont show in Bios or in the system Device Manager....

which m.2 ssd drive did you get?

I installed the Inland Professional 256GB SSD 3D NAND M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe Gen 3 x 2 Internal Solid State Drive

The HP ProBook x360 11 G1 EE Notebook PC uses the M.2 (NGFF) 2280 protocol so look for something that is M.2 SATA 3 2280.  It doesn't suuport NVMe drives.

KFerrabelo thank you for the suggestions the Crucial M.2 drive worked out great, For anyone that is going to upgrade your system, if you plan to run your OS from the new M.2 drive you will need to do a fresh install and delete all partitions on the EMMc drive that comes with the Hp Probook. That is the only way to get it to install on the new drive is and make it bootable. there are no options in the Bios to change boot priority. Once the new OS is installed you Should be fine to boot from the new drive and you can use the old Emmc for extra storage by going to device manager and installing it as a new drive . One last thing you can also install a full windows 10 Pro or Home copy as well and dont have to use the Windows 10 S version  that i find annoying because you cant install anything .... 

thanks again KFerrabelo
