Product: HP Notebook - 17-ak006na
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an HP Notebook which currently has a standard SATA disk.

From the user manual this laptop appears to have support for an M.2 SSD.

There is no standard upgrade option for adding an SSD to the laptop. However can I buy and add an M.2 drive to this device?

Note that this is an ADDITIONAL drive, not a replacement. I'm looking to have both a SATA drive and an SSD.

Only machines with discrete graphics have dual storage options. Does your machine has discrete graphics ? I don't think so, ii only has UMA  AMD Radeon™ R4 Graphics. Its specs

You can open your machine to check.

Thanks B.

I was hoping to add a 2nd drive for backup purposes, as I'm always nervous about storing eveything on one spindle. Looks like an external USB drive is the only option.
