i'd like to upgrade my Envy TE-01 with a second SSD. Is it possible? The maintenance and service manual is not very helpful.

@wb2001 I practically answer that in the evening when I come home from work
So for me it is between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. when I can respond to users!
Except on Friday I don't work in the afternoon
The product page does not give us an indication of what is installed
but i found this
512 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSd
If you have an SSD only, it may be an M2
You can check it from Disk Management maybe
In disk properties and with the given reference
you therefore only had the possibility of a second classic SATa SSD
you can optionally test the scan:

Not sure of the time differences. It's 8:45 PM here in the EST zone USA. Maybe your not awake now?
What type of extra SSD are you asking about? The motherboard is either a Rother or Baker. Those boards only have a single M.2 NVMe socket Key M. Both allow 3.5" hard drives. One bay can be modified for a 2.5" SSD.

Thanks! The motherboard is apparently Rother. https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c06432435
The above document lists the following expansion slots:
- One PCIe x16 socket (for discrete graphic card)
- One PCIe x1 socket
- One M.2 socket 1, key A
- One M.2 socket 3, key M
Do you know which one is my SSD using (the factory-installed)? I don't know why no SATA connector is listed in the document above, but one can clearly see three SATA slots in the picture. Do you know if the picture in the document above is correct? What would I need for SATA III SSD installation?

The HD power is from a 2x2 (BLACK) header on the motherboard. Is the cable there?
