NVMe SSD support

[Huffer]

@UDanny  Because its not determined by simply which processor the laptop uses. It's the specific model and whether HP has constructed the motherboard to use NVME or not. In each case, NVME is available only on Intel Core or AMD Ryzen platforms, but not all laptops with any Intel Core or Ryzen can use an NVME M.2 SSD.

Thank you @Huffer.  You're probably right, perhaps I'm overthinking a bit.  So, as I mentioned before I have a HP Pavilion 15-ck075nr laptop, ProdID: 2LV39UA#ABA, what type of SSD drives can I use in this system? 

 - M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0? 

 - M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.1? 

 - M.2 SATA?

Note: I bought this new in 2019.

Alright @Huffer, I understand. Thank you.
I've gone ahead to purchase an M.2 SATA drive.

Since, I have not yet received a response back from @Huffer, I decided to upgrade my laptop system board to the Intel Core i7-8550U with the NVIDIA N175S-G1 (GeForce MX150) and dedicated video memory.  This was a very successful venture.  In comparing the old system board (Intel Core i5-8250U with Intel UHD 620 and shared video memory) to the new system board, I noted  that besides the obvious NVIDIA Graphics chip and GDDR5 memory, there were additional controller chips for the M.2 slot.  So, I decide to test a range of M.2 drives.  As a result of the testing, I found that both M.2 SATA and NVMe PCI 3.x now works in my laptop.  The overall performance of the laptop has greatly improved and if you blink, you might miss the bootup process.  I am pleased with my decision and the results.  Oh, it is very important to note, that if you take this route, don't forget about getting the right heatsink and fan assembly as my old system board did not have a dedicated graphics chip.  The new heat sink assembly includes a heatsink plate for the NVIDIA Chips.
