Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

HP 15 Laptop PC (Intel)HP 15g Laptop PCHP 15q Laptop PC Maintenance and Service Guide

Chapter 1 has the supported drive types.

Your notebook's M.2 slot supports SATA M.2 SSD's only, not NVMe.

Amazon.in: Buy Western Digital WD Blue m.2 SATA SSD, 550MB/s R, 525MB/s W, 5 Y Warranty, 250GB Onlin...

Hi ,
there is not specifically written for i3-6th gen processor that it will not support nvme however there is nothing mentioned about nvme is that the reason because only sata is written . can you explain?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.

Only SATA is listed because only SATA M.2 drives are supported.

The entire model series, no matter what processor it comes with only supports SATA M.2 SSDs'.
