Does my Laptop support an M.2 NVME SSD?

Service Manual:

 

Manual

 

The Manual says "selected models" covered by the Manual support a PCIe/NVME M.2 SSD. I would think yours, with an i5-8th gen would be "selected" but you always want to open the laptop to verify the presence of the slot before buying an SSD for it. 

 

Start on p. 32 for rear cover removal and find this inside.

If you have GTX graphics the layout is a bit different but I believe yours looks like the above. The M.2 slot circled in red above is compatible with an NVME M,2 2280 SSD such as the Samsung 970 Evo. 

 

Post back with any other questions but please accept as solution if its the info you needed.

Actually sir,

I want to know is it actually support  NVME interface? 

As when I look in for a PCIe SSD then that shows always a combination of PCIe and NVME

PCIe = NVME

Hello Sir,

In manual, there is mixed information of some models of HP "15-cs0000 – 15-cs0999; 15-cs1000 – 15-cs1999 15t-cs000, 15t-cs100 "

 

So I can't figure out what are the configurations(SATA-3, PCIe, NVME) of SSD support in my exact particular model which is "HP cs1000tx".

So that I can go with my SSD upgrade in my Laptop

I am not sure how much better I can explain. The data on pages 1-5 of the Manual applies to all those model numbers you mention including yours. You do want to open and verify the existence of the slot before buying an upgrade part.
