All what I need to know is Samsung SSD 860 EVO 250GB M.2 SATA Internal SSD (MZ-N6E250BW) matches my pc ?
My pc info is :
1/model: HP pavilion 14-al105ne
2/HP support team told me :
your pc supports a 256-GB, M2.2280, SATA-3, solid-state drive supporting triple-level cell (TLC) and a 128-GB, M2.2280, SATA-3, solid-state drive.
My main concern about SSD model is : it is V- NAND, however as per as HP support team my pc supports TLC
So, now I need to know with clear answer is this SSD can be work smoothly on my pc or not ?

It will be fine. TLC is just the kind of M.2 HP installs at the factory. The 860 Evo M.2 will fit and work. You are just going to have to take my word as there is no official HP spec that says this but I have installed M.2 SSDs in several HP laptops and never had an issue with a SATA M.2 including Evo 860.

That happens sometimes. No way to know in advance. The Manual says that is an M.2 slot but somehow HP does not always solder an actual slot there. I guess I assumed you had already opened it to look, and you said Support had told you that you could put an M.2 into it.

I have no way to know what models have the slot and which do not. I had the same thing happen to me trying to upgrade an HP laptop recently. Found the prior post you refer to. Please acknowledge I wrote this:
I would open the laptop before ordering, however, just to be sure the slot is present.
I can give advice all day long and if it is not followed I guess I am not doing anybody any good??
