M.2 or NVMe slot available on Envy 15-as166nr

[Shujja]

I have recently purchased HP Envy 15-as166nr. Core i7 7500U, 12GB RAM, 1TB 5400rpm HDD.

My question is, does this product support M.2 or NVMe SSD? If i want to go for these, which one it will support? which slot does it has ?

Thanks

The HP Envy 15-as1xx machines support both as mentioned:

Support for next generation form factor (NGFF), M.2 solid-state drive, default with SATA/PCIe co-layout port (assigned port 0 for solid-state drive to support hard drive/solid-state drive combination)

● 512-MB, M.2, PCIe, NVMe solid-state drive supporting triple-level cell (TLC)
● 256-MB, M.2, PCIe, NVMe solid-state drive supporting TLC
● 256-MB, M.2, SATA solid-state drive supporting TLC

Thank you very much for your response.

Actually mine is factory refurbished so it will not be different and still support NVMe SSD? ? 

I want to know before I open it thats why I asked it first.

Hi,

Who knows. But it should carry the original specs.
