PCI E NVME M.2 SSD upgrade

[SoumyaRoy]

I want to install a new nvme ssd in my laptop. Product document says 512GB PCI NVME SSD is supported. But at the same time "Dual Storage Configuration" says "1TB HDD + 256 GB PCI SSD".  There is no option for 512 GB PCI SSD.

Does this mean I can only use a 256 GB NVME SSD along with the 1TB existing HDD ?

No it just means HP did not offer it that way. A 512 gb NVME was offered as a sole drive but not together with a hard drive. You can install any capacity PCIe/NVME 2280 M.2 SSD available on the market. A 1 or 2 TB would not be an issue. 

Post back if you need more help and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

Firstly what is your HP Pavilion cc129tx ?  Is it an HP Pavilion - 15-cc129tx ? Its specs

You can add M.2 SATA SSD to your machine using

The document I am referring to is as follows 

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06525445

So the data provided is for the combination HP is providing and not what I can do with laptop ? 

Thank you for your reply!

Exactly. And you CAN install a PCIe/NVME M.2 not just a SATA M.2. That is, if the slot is present. Never a 100% certainty...open the laptop and inspect before buying upgrade parts. Good luck.
