I bought a PC HP ENVY Desktop PC TPE01-3000i. Unable to find the layout of the Reno motherboard. 

I would think HP could publish a drawing of the motherboard layout to see where the components (expansion slots) are located at.  Nothing in all my searches.

HP wants money for this but I will not pay HP to answer this question.

Thank you.  Why not publish a manual with this info?

I did not see any INTERNAL USB ports, are there any internal USB ports on the motherboard?  

How many SATA INTERNAL HD/SDD can I install in the TPE01-3000i PC?  How do I get power for them?  I noticed there are plenty of SATA connectors

@fr59,

No internal USB ports, but you'll find 4 x USB 2.0 ports on the back:

And the front I/O ports:

@fr59,

You can connect up to three (3) internal SATA HDD/SSD drives.  [EDIT:] If you don't use/utilize the M.2 NVMe SSD slot, use the dark blue SATA port ("SATA0") for your primary (boot) drive.

You power the SATA drives using 15-pin SATA power cables which should be provided in your desktop.  Maybe there are only two 15-pin SATA power cables, in that case you'll need to purchase a dual 15-pin SATA Y-splitter cable, as shown here:

@fr59,

Don't forget that you have an M.2 NVMe SSD slot on your motherboard: utilize this before all else as your primary (boot) drive for speed and performance.
