Opening it up at the moment is not an option.

Very hard to say how many bays because this depends on the size of the case and the SATA port on motherboard. Larger cases should be able to accommodate more bays naturally. But from its specs and  from its motherboard

 

                https://support.hp.com/my-en/document/c06460332

 

Which say it has

 

  • One PCIe x16 socket (for discrete graphics card)
  • One PCIe x1 socket
  • One M.2 socket 1, key A
  • Two M.2 socket 3, key M (one for SSD card PCIe x4)

That means you can have Two M.2 NVMe SSD drives to be able to house at least 4TB
