Can I swap out the hard disk of this laptop and add an SSD?

[dzonula]

Hi, I would like to know if I can replace the hard disk of my laptop, an HP Imprint 15-be001TX, and add an SSD. I dont know about the hard disk form factor. If so, what form factor SSD should I go for?

Thanks a lot for the manual. Also, if I purchase an SSD on Amazon, will HP Support assist me in replacing the HDD with the SSD. The laptop's in warranty.

You've to request them to help you in upgrade.

They may or may not charge you for this, as it is non-warranty included service.

Go through Page 7, 60-62 in the Manual

Just take out your 1TB HDD and put in your 2.5 inch SATA SSD in the hard drive bracket.

You have to go to the authorised HP service centre to do it for you. HP may not encourage you to do it in warranty period when you try just them through official chat or phone option.
