Well not so good news.

 

Manual 

 

There is a single slot for one M.2 SSD and no other storage options so if the original 128 gig drive is too small you have to replace it with a single larger capacity M.2 SSD. There is also a media card slot and you can find large capacity micro-SD cards these days that are pretty fast. You can move the library folders files over to the SD card (docs, music, video, pictures) and free up space on the main hard drive that way and set the system to automatically save to the SD card. Easy to do and does not require opening the laptop or reloading software. Also means if the main hard drive crashes all your stuff is still on the SD card. 

 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.
