Product: HP 15Q-DS0026TU
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an HP 15Q-DS0026TU laptop. Now my question is how do I know will my motherboard support M.2 SATA SSD OR M.2 NVME SSD. Sir, please tell me that Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB PCIe NVMe M.2 (2280) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-V7S500) will work fine/support my HP 15Q-DS0026TU  laptop. How can I find out which Samsung SSD will support my board before buying? Thanks

I looked at the Samsung  970 EVO Plus SSD. It has 1 notch to connect. Will it fit in?

100%. An M.2 slot will accept either the 2-notch (almost all SATA) or 1 notch (almost all NVME) type of M.2 form factor drives. 

 

The confusing thing is that even though either kind of drive fits in any M.2 slot, not all motherboards with M.2 slots can recognize and work with either type. Yours happens to be one of the ones that can accept either.

There is a link in my post above to the Service Manual. It details opening the back cover and inserting the M.2 SSD. You are also going to have to figure out how to install software on the blank M.2 drive and make it the primary boot source. We can help with that if necessary.

Please tell me how to do that. Are there any charges applicable for that?

Charges? If you mean do you have to pay for Windows, no its a free download and your laptop has an app on it where you can create a usb disk that will restore an original factory image to the M.2 SSD.
