Hi @VikramTheGreat,
Thank you for the help.
So, If I want to upgrade SSD, I'll need to get a whole new SSD with higher storage capacity right?
I checked out the guide and it's quite helpful. Thank you for that.
Have a great day ahead.

Hi @Arondight24,
You’re very welcome, and we’re glad the guide helped!
Yes, you’re absolutely right. If you’d like to increase your storage capacity, you’ll need to replace your existing SSD with a new one that has higher capacity. The new SSD will serve as your primary drive.
Thank you again for reaching out, and we wish you a smooth upgrade and continued great performance from your HP system!
Take care and have an amazing day!
