2nd M.2 slot or no?

[Jebcovet]

Mucking through documentation, I'm unable to confirm or deny whether this laptop has a second M.2 slot. Can anyone please tell me, especially if you have added one? Thanks in advance!

Hi, @Jebcovet 

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook's model series.

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

Chapter 5, page 34 indicates that there is a second M.2 slot to support a NVMe SSD.

[Jebcovet]

Except it appears page 34 is concerning memory modules, of which there are, of course 2? OK, on further review, I see mention of a second slot, so thank you!

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.

"The computer offers two solid-state drive slots. Both drives require that you install a thermal pad on the drive. See the following illustration for drive locations and associated thermal pad shapes"

Here is the service teardown video which shows the two M.2 SSD locations.
