Here is the Service Manual:

 

Manual 

 

This is what HP has posted for your model. Note the 15-bc2xx is not specifically covered. However, for someone who has read a lot of these and can read between the lines, what I am seeing is that 8th and 9th gen models support PCIe/NVME M.2 SSD while 7th gen, such as yours only supports SATA M.2 SSD. Its possible an NVME M.2 will work but I think not. I note that upgrade sites only offer SATA M.2 for your specific model. 

 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

is it compatible with hp laptops???

HP Recommended

Yes that Adata NVME will work assuming the laptop can take NVME M.2 and you have tracked down the motherboard model and made a good case it will. Unfortunately the links in that old post of mine are dead and I cannot access whatever I was looking at back then, but you have convinced me an NVME will work in your laptop. Go for it.
