Product: ENVY TE01-0049 (6YR00AA#ABL)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am needing assistance to add a second HDD to ENVY TE01-0049 - there is no support info online at HP and agents including Wasim say that for a second drive to contact HP sales to purchase another drive.

I have a second 1TB drive I would like to use.

The simple answer is there are 3 SATA data headers on the motherboard. The power is supplied from a single cable (4 pin) to all drives. You have to follow the lead from the motherboard to locate the unused power plug. Accessing the drive bay is not easy.

Thanks for the quick answer and clear instructions video.

Being Deaf - the Closed Captions that HP has on the YouTube video was really helpful.
