Product: Pavilion 17-ab011nl
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Hello,
I recently bought a HP Pavilion 17-ab011nl. Can I replace the SSD with a bigger one without losing the warranty?
Also, how can I transfer the Windows license to the new SSD? I haven't booted the PC yet, so the Windows license on the stock SSD has yet to be activated.
Thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi,
Your notebook came within spinning 1TB HDD and Windows 10 Home 64 bit from factory.
Specs: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05187212
Manual: Page 1, 2, 35-37
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05123465
Your laptop support dual drive support
You can put M.2 2280 SSD (PCIe NVMe or SATA-3 TLC) in its slot along with HDD already present in its HDD bay. So you can clone HDD to M.2 SSD to make it boot drive (faster access), then format and use HDD for storage alone.
Or replace HDD with 2.5 inch SATA 7mm SSD.
Clone HDD to SSD in this case also, before upgrade. Thereafter HDD can be safely stored in your cupboard.
I would create HP Recovery USB using HP Recovery Manager before doing about anything.
I'll suggest you to get help from certified HP technician to do any of the above upgrade because if you break something in the process HP wouldn't honor warranty.

Visruth
