Will a nvme gen4 make any difference compared with the default one m.2 ngff ? Or it will still be running at 400-500MB as the old one?

Hi I saw you used the double sided for the SSD. Is there no screw? I opened my laptop and saw the same space for ssd but didnt see any screws.

Please I opened the back of my laptop and found out that there wasnt any hard drive in it and i have been using it for about a year now and I only opened to check because I encountered the blue screen of death recently and i'm surprised cause why has my system been working without a hard drive ever since? Please I need help

Hi - is this NVME drive, is this addition to the current drive my laptop has? As in if install NVME will my current data remain there but this will be additional storage? Is that correct or does this replace the current drive

I happen to have exact same - want to upgrade from slow hdd to ssd and add more memory. I already read it is up to 32(16+16). What is the size limit for SSD and apparently for M.2 too (didn't know I can install it too)

i have one question how to change ram speed?

[naijaskynet]

If i change the HDD to ssd and also upgrade 8gb ram to 16gb ram. Will it stop the laptop from hanging when running multiple task?

Is it possible to choose from BIOS which one do you want to use for primary disk (changing from NVMe to 2, 5" and vice versa)?

[checoweco]

what did you add before you put in the SSD? was it tape?

[jorgealainr]

In the support page of this notebook it shows it supports up to pc4 17000 ddr4 and it recomends to use only hp memory. Can i use any type of other memories with the same specs orits best to avoid risk, just try to search for hp memory? hp memory is very difficult to find here in brazil and i'm afraid of buying from other marks/vendors and end up with the notebook doesnt booting up.

I am using M.2 SATA ssd in HP 840 G3 for now. But I don't know if it supports M.2 NVMe ssd. Would you be kind enough to let me know that. In the HWINFO it says that the motherboard supports PCIe v3.
I want to replace my NGFF M.2 ssd with NVMe ssd, Because I want to enjoy the speeds of NVMe with PCIe interface. Thanks,
