SSD M2 upgrade

[NIKIKUKO]

Hi,

I own a Pavilion bc000nv which has Intel HM170 chipset, in a previous post I made about upgrading to SSD someone replied to me that is known the Samsung PM961 works at my model but I'm looking into buying the Samsung 970 Evo NVMe M.2. 

Has anyone with the same laptop or chipset installed this SSD? will I have any problem if I do so?

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

NIKI.
