My laptop HP 14 inch Laptop PC 14-d3000 (2L0Z3AV), I have to replace the NVME 2.0 SSD, but I don't know the slot size, whether it is really 2280 PCIE 4.0.
How to find out without opening the cover while the laptop can't enter Windows?

I would recommend installing W11 since W10 goes out of support in 2.5 months.
HP has drivers for both operating systems.

Your notebook support M.2 2280 NVMe SSD's and the M.2 slot is PCIe Gen 3.0.
A Gen 4.0 SSD will work fine, but it will not run at its maximum advertised read/write speeds from the Gen 3 slot.
The max transfer speed from a Gen 3.0 slot is 4,000 MBPS.
