HP All-in-one 22-b040nx storage upgrade to SSD

[HKAZ]

Hello All,

I have an HP All-in-one 22-b040nx and I would like to upgrade the stoage to SSD. I'm thinking to replace HDD with a "Westren Digital Blue 3D NAND internal SSD 2.5 inch SATA- 1TB"- is it compatible with my PC? and if not, are there orther options? Any help is much appriciated.

@HKAZ,

Per HP's description of your AIO: it comes with a 1 TB SATA HDD so you should be able to use the SATA power & data cables to connect the Western drive. However, you may need to buy an SSD adapter in order to screw in the smaller sized SSD drive [if it is smaller than your current drive!] and insert that assembly into your HDD docking bay.

Please be advised that you need a SATA to USB cable in order to clone your new drive.  Apparently Western provides a cloning software download, or you could use the Macrium freeware cloning software.  (Plug the SATA end on the new drive, and the USB end into your AIO to get started.)

Disclaimer: I need to mention this.  In order to be extra sure, you could contact Western Digital and inquire about this drive's specific compatibility.

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,
