The Manual shows one:

See p. 45. But we have had reports that if you open the laptop there is in fact no M.2 slot and also in some cases that the M.2 port, if there is one, is disabled. Right now I cannot in good conscience advise anyone to attempt the upgrade. If you are an experienced technician and just happen to have an M.2 mSSD 2280 drive sitting around it might be an interesting exercise but I would not tell someone to go invest in such a drive for this model laptop right now. Your best bet is a 2.5 inch SATA SSD.

Did anybody install M.2 drive on this notebook (15-ak112nl)?

 

Someone said it's possible if you modify something in the BIOS?

 

Is it possible to install M.2. drive?

 

Thanks a lot!

Hello!

 

As you may know, there is a M.2 slot in the motherboard of Pavilion Gaming ak112nl. At least, mine does have it.

And it works, but you have to upgrade to latest BIOS and use a SATA M.2 SSD. Be aware that the form factor supported is 2280.

 

Cheers!
