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.
