HI,
I used my old desktop SSD, 500Gig, when I got this desktop for ease of transfer,
Now this drive, only 50% used, just goes 100% all the time, no ideal.
I wanted to know what drives the board supports, M2 / NVME type drives.
Only like to open it up when it is required.
Thanks
Art.

Hi @Art_Mac
Welcome to the HP Forum.
Your MB should have one M.2 2280 512 GB NVME drive now.
You can replace this drive with a 1 TB or larger NVME drive.
You will probably want to clone or image the existing, smaller, OS drive to the new and larger NVME drive. A NVME to USB 3 adapter would work since the MB is limited to one M.2 slot for storage devices.
Back up data before doing anything which could compromise data on the existing SSD.
Regards
