It is compatible but it will run at Gen3 speed as it is Gen4.
There are differences between models and different firmware for HP laptops. Be sure that the vendor allows a return if it does not work.

Your laptop is generation 3 PCIe
That WD card is designed for Generation 4, a much faster system. It should be backwards compatible with older systems.
If you are getting a 2TB m.2 you will need a heat sink. If your existing m.2 has a heat sink then remove it and put it on the new m.2.
If your old m.2 never had a heat sink then get one of those those thin copper type at amazon that come with a sticky heat pad.
