Hello guys,
I've been planning on upgrading my laptop recently due it's extremely slow performance.
I have an HP 14q-cs0014TU laptop with Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-7020U CPU @ 2.30GHz .
I wanted to purchase a PCIe NVME ssd 250 GB.
On the motherboard there is an M.2 slot( can fit nvme) with SSD written on it. Upon reading through various websites I came to know that despite having an M.2 slot the Nvme ssd might not be supported by the bios or might not show up while trying to install windows. Can someone please tell me if an M.2 NVME ssd will work with my motherboard.
Thank you.
