Hi,
I wanted to insert a new SSD into M.2 slot of my HP ProBook 440 G4 and didn't manage to do it.
Currently, I use SATA SSD and I've never used M.2 before on this notebook and generally.
I bought Samsung - PM981a 256GB SSD bulk (MZVLB256HBHQ-00000)

The issues.
  1. According to the HP-maintenance guide and to their official video there should be a PM2.0×4.0 screw on this place (red circle on the photo). Do you see any?
  2. In the video, the white sticker with the Samsung label is up. But if you want to fit the smaller and the larger contacts (I'm not sure how
to describe them properly), the sticker should be set to the bottom.
2. The bigger part with contacts seems to be too large (I didn't try to force it )
So
  • did I something wrong
  • did I buy the wrong SSD
  • is there a problem with my notebook?

P.S. I prepared photos and links but the site currently does not allow them, should figure out why. I will update the post as soon as possible.

Thank you.
