Upgrade HP Pavilion 15z-eh000 storage, M.2 SATA SSD to NVMe

[ramqz]

Hello, recently I bought the HP Pavilion Laptop - 15z-eh000 notebook, with the following customized options:

• 15.6" diagonal, FHD (1920 x 1080), IPS, micro-edge, BrightView, 250 nits
• No DVD or CD Drive
• 128 GB M.2 SSD (according to the service manual, this is SATA)
  
• 12 GB DDR4-3200 SDRAM (1 x 4 GB, 1 x 8 GB)
• Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX 200 (2x2) and Bluetooth® 5 combo (Supporting Gigabit file transfer speeds)
• AMD Ryzen™ 7 4700U (2.0 GHz, up to 4.1 GHz, 8 MB L3 cache, 8 cores) + AMD Radeon™ Graphics

At the time I couldn't afford more storage as a customized option, but I was able to buy an M.2 NVMe 500GB drive separately. I haven't received either yet but now I'm wondering if it has the PCIe port for the NVMe card. Does anyone know if I can make this upgrade?

I have the same model and trying the same upgrade but cannot clone a bootable m.2 nvme drive (500gb WD Black) without an HP 03F0 error. Have you been able to upgrade successfully? My next step is to create a bootable usb recovery drive, install the drive with the 03F0 error and try to boot from usb. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey man, sorry for the late reply. I cancelled my nvme order because I wasn't sure it was going to be compatible. But now I really wanna make that upgrade lol. Were you able to go from your 128GB M.2 sata drive to your 500GB nvme?
