Upgrading SSD Hard Disk in HP Pavilion All-in-One - 24-xa0072d

[TheFerd]

I purchased a HP Pavilion All-in-One - 24-xa0072d desktop only a few weeks ago.  The 128GB SSD hard disk (c: drive) running Win 10 OS is already full with only a few MB of space left.  Am unable to extend the c: drive using the Disk Management tool as there is no unallocated space in the adjacent partition.  And the only apps I installed since buying the desktop are O365 and an antivirus program.  With practically no space left on my c: drive, I am now unable to install any updates for the OS, antivirus, etc.

Looks like my only option is to replace the existing 128GB SSD with a compatible 256GB SSD but the local HP Service Centre is not recommending such an upgrade "due to hardware architecture limitations".  Anyone able to help?

Hi:

The Crucial memory report for your PC offers NVMe SSD's up to 1 TB.

Hi Paul,

Thanks very much for the info.  I will certainly try getting the suggested SSD and hope that my local HP Service Centre is able to install the replacement SSD without voiding my warranty.  Really appreciate your help.  Many thanks.
