Hi:

Chapter 1 of the service manual indicates that your notebook's M.2 slot supports both NVMe and SATA SSD's.

HP 15 Laptop PC Maintenance and Service Guide

NVMe have faster read/write speeds than SATA SSD's have.

After NVMe M.2 installed , can i select M.2 NVMe SSD drive as primary boot drive in BIOS menu ?

 Is that support ?

You may have to temporarily disconnect the 2.5" mechanical hard drive so the Windows boot manager switches to the SSD.

Notebooks that come from the factory with dual drive configurations have no operating system on the 2.5" drive which is only used for storage.

SIR ,

            My PC  comes with 4GB ram,  Thinking about adding other 8GB stick and would like to see if I can get a matching stick to pair with the existing one.  does you know what is the exact or similar matching stick to buy?

 my pc i3-7020U processor  DDR4-2133 dual channel support. can i buy 2400/2666/2933/3200MHz plz guide .

Unfortunately, I don't know what brand/model number memory HP installed in your notebook.

That is because HP uses memory from around 4 different manufacturers, and it all depends on what memory they had on hand at the time your PC was assembled.

You can run the free utility that I zipped up and attached below and it should tell you the brand and memory part number HP installed, but an 8 GB memory chip will have a different part number.

You can install DDR4-2133 up to DDR4-3200 memory in your notebook.

It will all run at 2133 MHz because that is the fastest speed your notebook's processor can run the memory at.

If you can't find a matching 8 GB memory chip to the 4 GB one HP installed, this memory should work with just about any DDR4 memory chip out there.

Sir,

      one last thing to know , does my pc supports 512 GB PCIe NVMe SSD+1 TB HDD Dual storage configurations 

in manuals there are  two 256/512 GB  NVMe SSD support .

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Yes, that should be fine.

The drive capacities listed in the service manual are normally only what HP offered in the model series, not the maximum capacity supported.
