I can't find official note/article from HP but some people use the following guide

 

   https://drtechnno.com/2018/06/13/tutorial-how-to-upgrade-intel-optane-memory-to-m-2-ssd/

 

and one happy people:

 

  Basically first step is to turn off intel optane in Bios settings. It is under "storage". I did this and was able to boot into windows just fine afterwards. I then shut down the machine and removed intel optane chip and installed Kingston 960G SSDNOW A1000 M.2 2280 NVMe. I turned on machine and opened acronis cloning software. My NVME was recognized by acronis so I proceeded to clone it. Once that was complete I set my bios to boot from the New cloned Kingston NVME. Oh my! It is superfast! I used the HDD as a backup inside the computer for a while, but decided to remove it so I can preserve battery power. I use the HDD externally as a backup when I need it.

Regards.
