Hi:
Yes, your notebook has a M.2 slot that supports NVMe SSD's.
See chapter 1 of the service manual at the link below.
Solid-state drive:
For use only on computer models with model numbers 15-cc1xx and 15-cc6xx:
● 512-GB, 2280, Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe), Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe)
solid-state drive
● 256-GB, 2280, PCIe, NVMe solid-state drive
Thank you @PaulTikkanen, that is helpful. I agree don't have much to gain by upgrading processor. I have already upgraded to 16GB RAM and SSD, which was quite useful, so was just exploring options.
Hi:
You can add a M.2 SATA SSD to your notebook, not a NVMe one.

You're very welcome.
Since you have already made those upgrades, here is a side by side comparison of the i7-2620m and i5-2430m to help you decide if you want to max it out.
Hello,
I am using the notebook HP Pavilion 15-dp0003nv I bought on august 2019 and from the first month of using it, I noticed that the battery was already 1 year old but didn't really think about it all that much.
now, after 16 months of using the laptop every day, battery age shows as 2 years,2 months old - cycle count 708/1000 and full charge at 84%
is it normal using old batteries in new laptops? can a claim be made in order to replace the battery for free at an hp partner shop or something like that? warranty ended last august unfortunately
and an out of topic question: when should I start thinking about replacing a laptop battery? when it reaches 1000 cycles or maybe earlier? this is my first laptop so I don't really know about these things.
thanks!
Hello
I got this laptop second hand as a birthday present. Little did I know, I had been using the wrong AC adapter for it and the battery had been worn out. It was a 3.33a when the laptop needed 7.7a. I didn't know this at the time. It was charging while on normally on the 3.33a AC adapter until one day it had just shut off while on AC power. I figured I needed a new battery and that's when I found out the issue with the AC adapter. I got a new battery, installed it myself with a replacement I got on Amazon since the warranty was up and there isn't an HP centre near where I live. Also, HP doesn't sell batteries for this model anymore. I let it charge for about 24 hours on the 3.33a charger to let the battery calibrate. I did this on that AC Adapter because at this stage I hadn't got the new one yet and assumed it was fine because it worked before. I turned it on to let it drain, charged it while off again to 100% and then turned it on to notice it wasn't charging while plugged in. I tried everything I found from this forum and the Microsoft forum to fix it and couldn't find a solution. And when I say everything, I mean you'd have to ask me to try something very different from what's on here to fix this. I even got a suitable charger this time around. I realized, however, that I can run the computer on AC power If I disable the ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery driver. Once I enable this, it detects the battery is at 0% and shuts the laptop off. Do you know any possible ways to fix this that doesn't involve me getting a new laptop?

You're very welcome.
Yes, it is disappointing but you would have been more disappointed if you bought a NVMe SSD without coming here first. 😊
Also, bear in mind that NVMe M.2 SSD's run much hotter than SATA ones because of their much faster read/write speeds.
That could cause issues too. If the drive goes over 70 C, most of them have a built in throttling mechanism that slows down the drive to cool it off.
In other words, your notebook has to be designed to handle that excess heat.
I recently bought a Crucial P5 M.2 SSD for my Dell desktop PC. All I was thinking about was the speed.
When I checked the drive temps, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had to buy a heat sink to add to the SSD to keep it running cooler.
In most cases you wouldn't be able to add a heat sink to a SSD in a notebook because of the lack of space.
A SATA M.2 SSD will still be very fast.

I saw yesterday that a crack appeared on my laptop near the power button.Whenever I try to close the lid, it exposes some tiny part of the back of the laptop near the left hinge. It isn't a big issue right now but I had seen in the community that within a few months, it can escalate to bigger problems.
My laptop is being used regularly nowadays and before it gets that bad, I want to fix it. It is 3 to 4 years old and out of warranty.
The problem seems to be in its left hinge which I had known existed since a couple of weeks but ignored, as it wasn't of much concern. When closing the lid, I could feel it to be getting stuck somewhere near the left hinge and after applying a little more pressure, it closed.
Hello!
I bought the laptop above last Aug 2018. Lately, I have noticed that the underside plate or body is starting to expand. Specifically the panel in front of the touchpad and the panel beside the TAB key. I read somewhere that HP had a recall on batteries that are expanding. I download the utility tool from HP website and ran the diagnosis which resulted in no concerns with the battery. Just want to make sure that this is really the case as the expansion of the chassis below is quite concerning.
As for laptop usage, I regularly plug and unplug it. The laptop basically stays on the table and I don't really take this out at all.
Thanks!
No bro , i haven't purchased it of yet . But I am wanting an ssd only for reducing the booting time which is greater than 1.30 mins on 1tb HDD and to load the apps faster . What's the difference between app loading and booting time between an m.2 nvme ssd and m.2 sata ssd ? I will go for the 250 gb variant. Can u please add the exact time experience fot the above puposes on both the ssds ?
Note - i don't want to use an ssd for storage purposes.
There is no point in discussing the difference between a NVMe drive and a SSD drive's boot times for your PC.
If you were to install a NVMe SSD in your notebook, it wouldn't boot up, or the NVMe drive wouldn't be recognized in the BIOS.
What I can tell you is that a SATA SSD should decrease your notebook's boot time from 1:30 to around 25 - 30 seconds at the most.
I like the NVMe SSD I have, but I have to admit that it is not leaps and bounds faster than a SATA SSD as far as boot times are concerned.
The NVMe may have shaved a few seconds off the boot time from the 2.5" SATA SSD I had in my Dell PC previously.
This SATA M.2 drive provides the best performance for the price in the USA, in my opinion, but in India it is a little more expensive.
$45 in the US

Thank you, sir. I'll try the same process and see if I have better luck with another technician.
Hello
Help, my HP just made 2 years and the left corner just unhinged when I opened it. It has never been dropped and just used for work.
The_Fossette,
Many thanks that appears to have solved the error warning.
I've run the battery check and it shows as normal.
regards
Mark
So, I recently found out that the integrated graphics uses up about 2GB of my RAM (which is 8GB), and leaves me with only 5.88 GB usable. When I asked the salesman before buying it he said that it is upgradeable but he doesn't seem sure. Is there a way that I could upgrade RAM on my HP ENVY X360 - 13-ar0126au?
