Hi:

Unfortunately, there is only the service manual for the older models on your notebook's support page, so the information may be a bit outdated.

However, according to the older manual, your notebook has a M.2 slot that supports NVMe SSD's and dual storage configurations.

You're very welcome.

Since I don't work for or represent HP, I have no idea what they are doing lately with the model numbers.

It used to be easy to figure out, now it is very hard, and it is also hard to find a relevant service manual for the actual hardware your notebook comes with.

Here is the link to the specs for your exact model number...

As I indicated earlier, your notebook has a M.2 slot that supports NVMe SSD's, and you can use it along with the hard drive, but you have to use the hard drive for storage, not for the operating system when you want the operating system on a NVMe SSD.
