Computer bus interfaces provided through the M.2 connector are PCI Express 3.0  and the HP Probook 450 G7 core i7 10 Gen. notebook uses the PCIe NVMe QLC M.2 SSD. So it is a PCIe 3.0 that your PC uses.

 

These two resources can be used for your own research.

In order to get detailed information of that sort I always use an enthusiast utility titled HWInfo.

The example below is of the components of my  Desktop Gaming PC which is MSI MPG X570 Gaming Pro Carbon WIFI motherboard based.

Your info is helpful, but the link you have is a bit complicated; in fact no direct answer!

Can I find it with CMD?

Thank you.

HP Recommended

Other members have not found it to be complicated at all.

 

What is complicated about choosing downloading the Windows installer?

 

Take a closer look at the result in the image.

 

I wish you good luck in your endeavor!
