Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your Omen 15-ax009na notebook.

Chapter 1 has the supported drive types.

According to the service manual, your notebook's M.2 slot supports NVMe SSD's.

Crucial p2 ct250p2ssd8 ssd internal Is this SSD suitable for a laptop?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Yes, that model should work according to the service manual, but there are faster ones out there that don't cost much more.

Hi:

Is that your 2.5" hard drive showing up in the Windows Boot manager listed in your 2nd screenshot?

If so, on some HP notebooks, you need to temporarily disconnect the 2.5" drive so the Windows boot manager automatically finds the M,2 SSD with Windows on it to boot from.

After you temporarily disconnect the 2.5" drive, see if the notebook automatically boots from the SSD.

If it does, run it a while, restart the PC and see if it still works right.

If so, you should be able to reconnect the hard drive.

I recommend you remove Windows from the hard drive because normally the PC will always want to boot from the 2.5" drive first instead of the M.2 SSD.
