Product: Hp m7-k111dx 17.3 touchscreen
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

My current laptop (m7-k111dx) has a slow hard drive and I am thinking about putting an m.2 ssd in the slot. I am currently set on the HP ex900 NVMe 500 GB. Will this ssd fit in the slot? Can I boot from it? Any information is helpful. If this ssd is not compatible with my computer, please list some that are. I want to upgrade to its heigest within 10000 INR

NVME will not work it has to be SATA M.2. Here is the Service Manual:

The M.2 slot is on the backside of the motherboard so no easy matter to access it. 

 

Here is a 1 TB that would work for just a bit less than your stated budget:

@Huffer Thanks a lot. Do I need to change RAM to speed up my laptop so that it can use full resources or it will work with MX500

How much RAM do you have? 8 gb will be sufficient and 16 gb luxurious. It uses DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM and no reason to try to find "gaming" or "performance" memory the motherboard is set to use memory running with OEM settings and no faster than 1600.

I have 12GB of RAM that comes with the system. 

4-GB memory module (PC3L, 12800, 1600-MHz) 
8-GB memory module (PC3L, 12800, 1600-MHz) 

Thanks for your quick response. I will try to upgrade my laptop with M.2  MX500 and will share my experience here.

Thanks once again

 Mx500 is not available in m.2 version in the market. and the one on amazon is without warranty. In Manual as well it's not written that NVMe will not work.  I am not able to find any  m.2 in the market  with warranty
