Hi:

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

HP 15 Laptop PC Maintenance and Service Guide

Chapter 1 has the supported drive types.

Your notebook's M.2 slot supports both NVMe and SATA SSD's.

NVMe SSD's have faster read/write speeds than SATA SSD's have.

hi paul ,glad u answered , m really confused about this manual , it shows which dual configurations came with pcs but does that also means it supports nvme ssds? because under internal exandable card  :it shows = one m2 port for ssd but doesnt tell u which ssd it supports ! can you please help ,i m really confused beccause these ssds are non refundable upon buying so thats a problem too .

You're very welcome.

Yes, I am certain the model series supports NVMe SSD's.

Your notebook's M.2 slot is PCIe Gen 3.

This is taken right from chapter 1, page 2 & 3 of the manual:

PCIe, NVMe, M.2 solid-state drives (Intel Core processors):
512 GB
256 GB
Dual storage Configurations (Intel Core processors):
256 GB, PCIe, solid-state drive + 1 TB, 5400 rpm hard drive
256 GB, SATA-3, TLC, solid-state drive + 1 TB, 5400 rpm hard drive
128 GB, SATA-3, TLC, solid-state drive + 1 TB, 5400 rpm hard drive

PCIe = NVMe

I recommend the Western Digital Blue SN570 NVMe SSD in a storage capacity that meets your needs and budget.

This is the 500 GB model, for example.

Western Digital WD Blue SN570 NVMe 500GB, Upto 3500MB/s, with Free 1 Month Adobe Creative Cloud Subs...
