@Arturo01 -- how old is your computer?

 

Given that it uses DDR3 RAM, and was originally shipped with Windows 7, it must be several years old.

 

Is this your computer:  https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03345460

 

If so, that web-page lists:

 

Ultra-Slim Desktop specifications
Expansion slots: (1) Mini PCI Express, (1) MXM, (1) mSATA

 

But, I do not see any information to indicate if the motherboard will (or will not) boot from mSATA.

 

I recommend that you actually try it, to see if it works for you.

@Arturo01 -- is this your computer: HP Compaq Elite 8300 PC Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

 

It does not list anything about "mSATA", although it has a memory-card (such as in a digital camera) reader.

 

How old is the PC?
