how do I upgrade my ssd, can't get laptop apart.

Guys I bought this laptop from costco, it was a custom build they order from HP in bulk, I believe. it was 1300 online, but 1000 in store.

So, this computer has an

Intel i7 6560u @ 2.20 GHz

16 gb ddr3 ram

256 gb SSD Samsung NVME Mzvlv256

4k resolution 15.6 inch screen

I just learned the difference about a 2.5 SSD drive and the new M2 that goes through the pci.

If i sound technically challenged it is because i am. I need help to know how to get this bottom cover off too. It only has 6 screws. and the bottom comes off, not the top with the keys. I wanted to see if there was another space for an SSD because 256 gb is not enough when I have 5 TB of music and videos on external western digital harddrives waiting.

I cannot find this laptop anywhere online, or anything close to it. It looks alot like an older spectre x360. it is an envy laptop notebook. The product name is exact what it says on the box.

Can I put a samsung evo SSD 2.5 in here? it has no Cd drive. thank you. and how do I open this thing? I could only pry open half the cover.

Hi,

I think it has more than 6 screws. Please check page #26 of the following guide:

Thank you! That helps so much.

Last question how can I find a 2.5 bracket and gasket and cable connector for this laptop? All I can find is 2.5 to 3.5 inch conversions online. I just want a bracket for a Samsung Eco 850 or WD 1 TB 2.5 hard drive. No brackets or cables are in the laptop
