HP Recommended
Product: Envy 17-u273cl
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

This laptop came with a standard HDD 1TB hard drive.  I am trying to add a SSD to the open M.2 slot and make it the boot drive by loading Windows 10 on it.  I will use the existing HDD as a data drive.  I installed a Crucial P2 MVMe PCIe M.2 TLC SSD, but the system does not recognize it as it doesn't appear in the BIOS, Device Manager or Disk Management utilities.  I saw something on one of the HP forums from a year ago saying that HP had disabled the M.2 port on this model if it didn't originally come with an M.2 ssd already installed.  I saw at least one other posting that contradicted this.  Has anyone out there successfully added a SSD to the open M.2 slot?  If so, maybe I just bought an incompatible SSD that I need to replace.
