Question Can an HP Slim S01-PF1013W Boot from the M.2 Slot?

[C0RLoCK]

My parents have one of these pc's, and it's still running a single 4GB stick of 3200 RAM (even though it has a max of 2933... weird) (Bleh!), has no M.2 NVME, and is still booting from an HDD... This thing is slow as hell, and as a gift I was wanting to move the OS onto an M.2 for them and update the RAM to 16Gb (They don't use it much, mainly for taxes.), however, I'm having a hell of a time finding ANY information on this PC. All searches for the direct model number keep popping up unrelated models, links to HP support which no longer work, etc. Can anyone answer my seemingly simple question?

Here are the specs I was able to find:

CPU: Intel Celeron G5905 3.5Ghz
MB: BakerMS model 8*68 (Can't remember 2nd digit)
1x PCie 3.0 x4 M.2 NVME slot

Thanks in advance.

get a sata ssd

As said earlier/elsewhere, a 2.5" SATA SSD will be a direct drop in replacement.
And monumentally faster vs the current HDD.

all oem boards are usually 1.2v only so its vital that the ram speed is at 2666 at only 1.2v as the board can not occ.

no guarantee that the board will boot from the nvme. so safer on a ssd.

also its going run like garbage because of the slow Celeron has only 2 cores.
