HP Pavilion 15-ab522TX
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

I have HP Pavilion 15-ab522TX laptop which I bought back in 2016. It came with 5400 rpm 1 TB Hard Drive which is now at the end of it's life. I get 100% disk usage pretty much all the time.

I would like to replace the hard drive with M.2 NVMe SSD. I searched and found that Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB is a good SSD.

 

But does the laptop I have supports it? If not then maybe I will have to replace the HDD with Samsung 860 SATA SSD instead.

 

So I have a couple of questions - 

1) Does the laptop support M.2?

2) Does the laptop support M.2 NVMe?
