I currently have a HP Omen 17 cb1008na laptop with a stock storage configuration including a 512gb NVME SSD drive and 1tb HDD and am looking to upgrade and install a second NVME drive into the spare unpopulated second m.2 slot on the motherboard. I am unable to determine from the upgrade and service manuals if it is possible to run with the configuration of 3 storage options of 2 NVME SSD cards and a HDD. I would be looking at installing a 1tb Western digital SN750 2280 as the new m.2 NVME drive.
Any Advice on wether this configuration is possible would be appreciated

Can you post a link or a picture of your board. The service guide I found does not show a secondary NVME slot, but in the overwhelming number of slightly different model numbers I may have pulled the wrong one.

Thank you for your reply.
Here are where I found the manuals available for my model available on the HP support website:
https://support.hp.com/gb-en/product/omen-17-cb1000-laptop-pc-series/32827283/model/34899404
I can only find information about dual storage options being available in the service and maintenance manual
Her are the actual images of the drive slots available:

Currently slot B is populated with the 512gb boot SSD and a blank is installed in the secondary SSD slot
