Hi:

Any of those drives should work for you.

The last one you posted is SATA, and the other two are NVMe.

NVMe SSD's will have faster read/write speeds than SATA SSD's have.

Hello!

The Crucial and Wester Digital will work perfectly. The EVM has SATA conector and is slower than others. And before change the SSD, you have to create a booteable USB with your Windows license using HP Cloud Recovery Tool.

Hi, @sebavelasquez 

If the PC came with Windows from HP, the license/product key is encrypted in the notebook's BIOS.

It is not included in the HP cloud recovery tool recovery media.

A person has the option to clean install Windows by making a bootable USB installation flash drive using the Microsoft Media creation tool from the link below...

Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

And then install the drivers and software from the notebook's support page...

...Or they can use the HP cloud recovery tool to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall Windows, the drivers and the software that originally came with the notebook.
