@Abo-Khalid , welcome to the forum.
Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06189775
On Page 65 is a list of compatible HP M.2, SSD's. Here is the 256 GB SSD in HP PartSurfer: https://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?searchText=865902-002
It states that it is SATA 3: https://www.newegg.com/samsung-860-evo-series-500gb/p/N82E16820147677?nm_mc=KNC-MSNSearch&cm_mmc=KNC...
The Samsung M.2 in my link is an example of what you need. If you want to buy a larger capacity M.2 that is possible.

Yes, the SSD in your link will work. The one that I provided is a M.2, SSD, that is much faster than the one in your link. You can add the M.2 to the available socket and use your hard drive (HDD) for storage. Here is a HP Knowledge Base article to help you make the transition whichever way that you choose to go: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Knowledge-Base/Upgrading-Desktop-or-Laptop-to-a-SSD/ta-p/73048...

M.2 (2280) 970 EVO Plus NVMe SSD 3,500MB/s Seq. Read - 3,200MB/s Seq. Write (IDK if its compatible or not):
SAMSUNG 860 EVO Series M.2 2280 500GB SATA III V-NAND

Thanks again!
