Hi Asmita6658, thanks for your response.

The mentioned  Service Guide  reports the "M.2 solid-state drive specifications" for 128 and 256 Mb, and the "M.2 PCIe solid-state drive specifications" only for 256 Mb, 512 Mb and 1 Tb.  (see pages 72,73, as well as pag 33)

Note that in another document:  https://support.hp.com/it-it/document/c05867510   the SSD device is instead described as "128 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD".

So, my problem is: can I mount the Samsung 970 EVO 500Mb, form factor M2(2280), interface PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3, on my computer that originally mounts a 128Gb device?

Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 NVMe should work. 

HP does not recommend upgrading or downgrading hardware parts or software that is bundled with the product as It may affect the manufacturer's warranty and performance, however, you could change the configuration at your own discretion.

Thanks!
