Hello @Peter_VE
It aways helps to give the full product/model number when asking for info so we can better help you, rather than guess.
Your system has an M.2 slot that can utilize both Sata and NVMe SSD's. So why waste money on an Optane drive when you can install a Sata drive and boot even faster? Bang for buck- a sata drive is a much better value than Optane.
You can install Windows to an M.2 Sata drive and use your HDD for storage.
Its up to you.
Here is the manual, page 43... http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05493193
