@Sidbhokare , welcome back to the forum.
Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06189775
On Page 65 and 66 is all of the information on the M.2, SSD's that are compatible with the motherboard. Here is the 256 GB M.2 on HP PartSurfer: https://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?searchText=865902-002
As you can see, it is SATA-3. I believe that you can install larger M.2's, but this is all that HP provides.
