Hi:

Your notebook only supports M.2 NVMe SSD's.

See chapter 1 of the service manual for the supported drive types.

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

Exchange the SATA drive for this model:

Thank you for your kindly answer .

I have one more question .

is this notebook support SSD gen 4 ?  

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.

Your notebook's M.2 slot is PCIe Gen 3, so while a Gen 4 NVMe SSD would work, it would only run at the max speed a Gen 3 slot can produce which is 3,500 MBPS.

Notebook processors are integral parts of the motherboard, so any time you want to look up the PCIe generation specs, you can get that info from the AMD or Intel website processor specs.

Under the Connectivity specification, you will see the PCIe Gen 3.0 spec.
