Product: Envy 15-as133cl
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My hp laptop (15-as133cl) is really slow, the boot time is almost 20 minutes. Wonder if I can somehow add a 16gb or more intel optane. Is there any slot for it? btw, it uses a pcie, nvme slot. Thank you

Optane is not supported. If the laptop is taking 20 minutes to boot there is something seriously, fundamentally wrong. You need to run a diagnostic test on the hard drive and memory to start out with. Turn off, turn on and immediately start tapping esc...then F2 then component tests. Run the long form hard drive and memory tests and let us know how it goes. 

 

You could install a PCIe/NVME M.2 SSD as you seem to know already. Putting the OS on say a 256 gig NVME M.2 SSD would be your best performance option. You have a very strong laptop there other than the 5400 rpm hdd and its a shame to have that holding you back.

I shutted down the computer, turn it back on, and rapidly clicked on esc, trying to boot to the bios but nothing happen. It just continue to load to windows. I even tried it 2 more times by pressing enter, and delete but nothing helps. Can't boot to bios.

Will it eventually load to Windows? Go to settings/recovery/advanced startup and it will set it to boot from BIOS
