How to Add SSD

[LiniaWarm]

I have alreay used 58 gb on my C: drive and I need to add more space. I already have an external hard drive but it seems too inconvenient. I don’t know much about this stuff. I found the RAM but I cant find the SSD. I didnt want to take off anymore parts so I added a picture so hopefully you guys can locate it for me. I did read another post saying some computers SSD were disabled so I hope that isnt the case for me.

Unfortunately, your notebook does not have support for any other drive but the 64 GB eMMC drive it came with.

There is a way to do a non-standard upgrade of the storage but it is a bit complicated so that is up to you:  See these discussions:

You lose your Wi-Fi adapter though and would have to use a USB Wi-Fi adapter.

It might be more convenient for you to use a SD card, and you can just leave that inserted in the SD card slot.

That's what I did with my HP notebook that has a 64 GB eMMC drive and cannot be upgraded.

I inserted a Sandisk 64 GB micro-SD card in the slot.  My notebook only had support for the micro size SD cards.

According to chapter 1 of the service manual your notebook supports the following SD card types:

microSD™, SDHC™, SDXC™

The micro-SD card you would have to put in the adapter that is the same size as a standard SD card.
