HP Omen 17 w295nr
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hey Y'all.

 

I have an HP Omen 17-w295nr. It is the version with a i7-7700HQ, GTX 1050 TI, 16gb RAM, 256gb SSD, and 1tb HDD.

 

Hopefully a  few simple questions. I want to upgrade the SSD and the HDD. So, a few questions:

 

What are the size/formats of the two drives? Sata? M.2? What is the format for the drives so I purchase the correct types?

How do I replace them? Is there a video someone could link?

 

And the biggest question, which may be inappropriate for this forum, but...

 

How do I migrate Windows 10 to the newer, larger SSD? I plan on having the new drives internal and putting the two that I remove into external bays and connecting them via USB if possible. Hopefully, that makes sense.

 

Thanks.

The specs of your machine is

which does not say anything about  256gb SSD. You can use Device Manager to check it out.

 

For M.2 SSD: You can use Crucial P1 or Samsung 970 EVO ... to upgrade M.2 SSD slot. For example

          https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/hp-omen-17-w295nr/CT13043891   (1TB)

 

For HDD:  You can replace with 2TB 2.5" HDD or SSD, for example

 

          https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/hp-omen-17-w295nr/CT11816483    (2TB)

 

I can't find a video but a manual called  Maintenance and Service Guide on the following link will help
