Hi:

 

Chapter 1, page 4 of the service manual indicates that SATA M.2 SSD's are supported, not NVMe.

 

Maintenance and Service Guide HP Pavilion Notebook PC

 

But on page 5 it indicates that Intel Optane memory is supported.

 

I cannot find any posts where someone installed a NVMe SSD in the 15-bc4xx model series and reported that it worked.

 

I did find one post where someone installed a NVMe SSD and reported that it did not work.

That could definitely be a possibility.

 

Optane memory is NVMe so in theory a NVMe SSD should also work in the slot.

 

But the manual indicates SATA only and any other posts marked as solved are just replies stating that NVMe SSD's will work, but no actual reports that it did.

 

If you want to try one out, that is up to you.

 

This reply indicates a NVMe SSD will work, but the person didn't report back with confirmation.

This person installed a SATA drive, so that doesn't help.
