This is the post I made yesterday:

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Want-to-make-my-hp-notebook-fa...
So with that in mind I purchase the memory and the WB blue SSD 1tb and just install in and as I turn on the notebook I am getting this message “No bootable Device Insert boot Desk and press any key”.

So before I do anything that completely screw my notebook I figure I ask you guys who are more knowledge than me. So this is what I am thinking I install my usb flash drive that has windows 10 on it and boot from that and install and everything should be fine afterwards? Let me know if I am on the right track or something else needs to be be done. 

Thank you

That is exactly what you need to do. The new SSD is blank so the BIOS finds no boot files on it. You add them by installing Windows. You will also need drivers.

Thank you for replying. I do have the drivers on a separate usb flash drive since I had did a new install for windows 10 early this week
