Hi everyone,
I am intending to upgrade my HP Opmen 17-an101na storage with a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1 TB PCIe NVMe M.2 (2280) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-V7S1T0).
I understand that I will need to resinstall Windows 10 as part of this process and I'd really appreciate any advice on how to do this and also anything I should be mindful of or need to know before I start the process.
Thanks all!

Hi:
Your notebook should be supported by the HP cloud recovery tool which you can use with a 32 GB USB flash drive that will create a bootable recovery drive that installs W10, the drivers and the software that originally came with your notebook.
Here is an info link for how to use the utility...

Make sure it gives you the option when you boot from the recovery drive as to which drive you want to use it on, or it may install W10 on the existing 2.5" drive.
