hello.

My Laptop is

HP 255 G7 Notebook PC (5LJ43AV) 

Product number: 9VY51ES#ABB Serial number: [Personal Information Removed]

Microprocessor AMD Ryzen 3 2200U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx

I want to change Nvme ssd( KBG30ZMV256G KIOXIA ) to 500GB. Will the Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 500 GB Internal SSD or WD Black SN750 NVMe M.2 500GB  work on my device ?? And also what other M.2 will work?

Gen 3 x4 so third generation and 4 pcie lanes. The newer gen 4 SSDs would work, but you would waste the extra cost as a 4th gen will perform no faster than a 3rd gen would. Samsung 970 Evo Plus is your best option.

The Samsung 970 and WD Black are good choices. Not possible to list every product that will work but Crucial makes an NVME M.2 that costs a bit less in exchange for not quite as much speed. Still very fast.

can you write what technology NVme m.2  this motherboard supports? PCIe® Gen 3.0 x4(1.3c,1.4) or even PCIe® Gen 4.0 x4?
