Welcome to HP Forums,

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂

As I understand, you're looking for SSD upgrade on your notebook, 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

What is the exact product number of your device? Use this link to find it: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03754824 

(Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...).

Once I have the information, I'll help you further 🙂

Keep me posted,

Cheers!

As per the specification and Maintenance and Service Guide, I see that your notebook does not have M.2 slot to have an SSD installed. You can only install a hard drive. Your notebook was shipped with the maximum storage of 1TB 5400RPM hard drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection. 

However, you could refer to the Maintenance and Service Guide (Page number: 94) for hard drive replacement. It will provide the hard drives and their part numbers with which you can replace the part on your notebook. (Except for this 1.5 TB, 5400 rpm 9.5 mm for HP Pavilion 15 Notebooks and AMD computers only 747375-005 which is not for your notebook).

Hope this helps 🙂

Thanks @Flower_Bud

Please can you advise me on which brand to buy? This will be the 3rd hard drive. I don't want to get the wrong one again

Thanks for responding 🙂

It's great to have you back,

You could either purchase one of these hard drives for your notebook: 

• 1 TB, 5400 rpm, 9.5 mm (Part Number:778192-005)
• 1 TB, 5400 rpm 9.5 mm (Part Number: 731999-005)

You could purchase them from the HP Part Store.

Cheers!

Hi @FlowerBud, can I get a SATA 3 hdd for this laptop or does it have to be SATA 1

[Flower_Bud]

@Teegirl

Thanks for reaching out to us,

As per the information provided earlier, SATA 1 hard drives are the only ones tested and compatible with your notebook. I would suggest you replace with one of the mentioned hard drives in my earlier post. 

Hope this helps!

Cheers!
