Hi:

Your PC only has one slot for a NVMe SSD.

If you need more storage, you will need to replace the 256 GB M.2 SSD with one having a greater storage capacity.

Below is the link to the service manual where you can find the M.2 SSD removal and replacement procedure.

Does your PC come with a hard drive?

It appears you can install one of those too.

thank you for your advice! Yes, my product had also a hard drive and i don t know what it does (no capacity specified) and does not appears in hard specifications. so, wich is his destination? Can be improved also? I like to play games and 256 Gb is too small for this. this product was a gift for my birthday but, unfortunately, the persons who did that, didn t know too much technically informations! I must to improve also RAM from 8 Gb to 32 Gb, but this is a easy solution.  This product is perfect for management and bussines but poor for games! If you have another solutions for what i want, i accept all with my greatest considerations! (scuse my english)

You're very welcome.

According to the HP specifications for the model, you can go as high as a 2 TB 2.5" drive.

Some models came with the AMD Radeon 630 graphics.

It indicates that you have to select the graphics adapter you want at the time of purchase, so I don't know if the PC's have different motherboards or not.

Thank you very much!  Do you think  the Samsung  980 Gen 4, 2 Tb, NVMe, M2 is good for my product?

You're very welcome.

Your PC's NVMe slot is only PCIe Gen 3.

While the Samsung 980 Pro will work fine, it will only run at the PCI Gen 3.0 speed.

If you don't plan on transferring the drive in the future to a PC that has a PCIe Gen 4 NVMe slot, you can save some money and buy the Samsung 980 Gen 3 NVMe SSD.
