Hey there! So I have come back after few months and I did the upgrade of RAM as suggested in this thread . However, now I want to make an SSD upgrade and I don't know which one should I choose and if its fitted for my laptop or not. Until now I have found two SSDs which I consider to buy:
HP EX900 M.2 250GB PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe
or
Kingston 250GB A2000 M.2 2280 Nvme PCIe
(these I found available in my country for a price of around 47$)
Could you please help me pick the right one in terms of compatibility with my laptop and performance?
LAPTOP INFO:
Product number: 2KF69EA#AKE
CPU: i7-7700HQ
GPU: GTX 1050 2GB

So PCIe is compatible with my laptop? I saw that there are different types of M2 SSDs, such as SATA3 (ADATA Ultimate SU650 for example). In the photos I saw that SSD SATA3 pins are different than the PCIe ones and I am curious which of the two are working on my laptop.

So I have done the SSD upgrade on my laptop and it works fine. Despite this, I have stumbled across problems when I tried to install Windows on the SSD, but I managed to do it so only after I took the HDD out, let the SSD alone, installed the windows on it, and then plugged in back the HDD.
However, now I have another problem which bothers me. Whenever I want to start up the PC, I have to manually choose the SSD as my booting device (through F9), if not, the PC will boot automatically from the HDD. I have tried to change the order in BIOS but there's no such option to choose the SSD, it only shows - OS booting device, USB, etc. In my disk management partition, I have three local disks: C = is the SSD which the new Windows is installed; D = contains the old windows (which doesn't run, when I want to boot from it, it goes on to repair mode but no solution is found) E = is my storage partition from the HDD. But I see that there are three partitions with about ~600 MB and I think that Disk 1 partition 4 is the one that wants to automatically boot from the old windows. Is there a solution to fix this and the PC to boot from the SSD on its own? I have been thinking of deleting the old D partition (where was the old Windows) and attribute the remaining space to E.
