Product: Pavilion 790-0029 Gaming
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am looking to upgrade the 256GB SSD in my 790-0029 to a 1TB SSD (MLC) and would like to stick to ones made by Samsung or Western Digital. Has anyone done this type of upgrade and, if so, which SSD do you recommend?

 

Is there a video or are there instructions somewhere online showing how to complete the upgrade?

 

Thanks!

Its specs

 

          https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c06019861

 

It has

  • Size: 256 GB
  • Interface: SATA
  • Type: TLC Solid State
  • Width: 2.5 in (6.35 cm) 

You can use the following Guide

Much simpler on your machine because old and new are same size

I am looking to replace the 256 GB M.2 SATA SSD in my PC. That video only shows how to replace a 2.5" regular SSD.
