Hi:

That should be fine since HP offered NVMe SSD's up to 1 TB in storage capacity in the model series.

See chapter 1 of the service manual.

Hp whatsapp support tells me that i can use 1tb ssd only by replacing hdd drive.

But the manual provided by support show that this model easily upgraded with 1tb ssd nvme m.2. 

Please solve that querry ,that , this Hp pavilion ec0100ax model compatible with 1tb nvme M.2 SSD  with 1tb hdd .

The drive capacities listed in the service manual are just what HP offered on the model series, not the maximum capacity supported.

They did not offer a 1 TB 2.5" drive + a 1 TB NVMe SSD as an option, probably because no one would want to pay for such a configuration as it would have been very expensive.

• When i am installing fresh window 11 on my HP pavilion ec0100ax, drives are not showing during installation process.please provide me the Amd Rst Vmd drivers . I can't find amd rst vmd drivers . Only intell drivers are easily found.

AMD notebooks do not need storage controller drivers in order for Windows to install, so something else is wrong.

The only suggestion I can offer would be to use the HP cloud recovery tool which you can use to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall Windows, the drivers and the software that originally came with the PC.

Here is an info link for how to use the utility:  You will need a 32 GB USB flash drive to create the recovery media with.

Since you have to use another PC to install the tool on, you will need to enter the product number for your PC to create the recovery media, which is:  169P5PA#ACJ
