Hi:

According to chapter 1 of the service manual there is only one M.2 slot for a SSD.

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

If you need more storage, you will need to replace the NVMe SSD that is currently installed with one having a greater storage capacity.

If you look at chapter 6, page 36 of the service manual, you can see the location of the M.2 NVMe SSD.

Thanks for your very fast answer.

Can someone tell me which 512GB SSD I can put into my device, which model? Can I put this 'https://www.ebay.com/itm/125531855950' or something else?
Thanks!

You're very welcome.

That model would work fine but would only run at the PCIe Gen 3.0 speed of your notebook's NVMe slot.

You may want to look into either one of these:

Amazon.com: SAMSUNG 980 SSD 500GB PCle 3.0x4, NVMe M.2 2280, Internal Solid State Drive, Storage for...

Amazon.com: Western Digital 500GB WD Blue SN570 NVMe Internal Solid State Drive SSD - Gen3 x4 PCIe 8...

Is that which I propose newer or older type of m.2 ssd? I don't have experience in hardware of laptop.

Thanks again!

Get the Kingston drive if you plan on transferring the Gen 4 SSD to a newer model notebook that has a Gen 4 NVMe slot. 

Otherwise, get one of the drives I recommended because they should have faster performance than the Kingston drive running at a slower speed in the PCIe Gen 3 slot.

OK, I understood. Big thanks again and all the best!

Anytime. 

Glad to have been of assistance.
