Hi:

 

The notebook does not support 2.5" drives.

 

There are no drive cables, connectors or brackets listed in chapter 3 of the service manual.

 

c06642370.pdf (hp.com)

 

From what I can tell by the product number you posted; your notebook comes with the 64 GB eMMC flash drive storage.

 

Is that correct?

 

If so, the M.2 SSD slot only supports M.2 2280 SATA SSDs such as this one:

 

WD Blue SA510 500GB, M.2 SATA SSD, up to 560 MB/s, Includes Acronis True Image for Western Digital, ...

 

That 64 GB eMMC drive exception is not listed in the service manual and folks have installed NVMe SSD's in the M.2 slot only to find that they do not work.  Not just one person but at least a dozen have done this.
