Hello HP Community
I want to upgrade My laptop with a M.2 NVME PCIE SSD as my laptop have a M.2 Slot.
I am reading several answers from questions about my laptop SSD upgrade on HP Community and I got confused.
In many answers it says it supports M.2 NVME Pcie SSD on my port.
some say that you will need some extra parts for installing SSD on my motherboard.
So I thought i should ask the community before buying one...
The M.2 PCie SSD which I am buying is Kingston A2000
do this drive support my motherboard HP Notebook 15-da1041tu.
One more Question do my laptop supports 2280 form factor?
Can I use my M.2 Drive as boot drive and HDD as storage?
Thanks for reading

Then why did you tell it didn't support nvme ssd in this question.
Most of the answer says it supports nvme but your answer got me confused.
But now as you have answered it supports PCIe, now i am sure that it supports NvMe.
I also checked on another sites like crucial and memoryking.co.uk to check the compatibility
Please change your answer in the above link so that it cannot confuse others
Thanks for answering.
