HP ENVY x360 - 15t-cn000
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, I apologize for asking a very common question, but I have not found any information on this subject regarding my laptop model. I have the hp envy x360 - 15t-cn000 laptop and I unfortunately chose to get the 1TB HDD when I bought this computer in 2018. I have read that these laptops have NMVe slots that allow you to put crazy fast SSD's in them. I would like to know if my laptop has this slot available since I got the hard drive variant. If it does, then is upgrading as simple as copying the current HDD onto a new SSD using some kind of transfer tool, removing the HDD and putting the SSD into the NVMe port, then setting the computer to boot from the new drive in bios? I am looking at the Crutial M.2 NVMe ssd that I will link below. Will this kind of drive work? Thanks for any help.

Yeah that is pretty much how it works. Here is the Service manual:

 

Manual 

 

Start on p. 29 to remove the bottom cover and inside you see this:

 

M.2 under shield at red arrowM.2 under shield at red arrow

 

You have to remove the metal shield and the M.2 slot is under it where the arrow points. 

 

That Crucial NVME M.2 would work but Crucial sells them as kind of a budget alternative. They are not as fast as the Samsung 970 Evo Plus but cost quite a bit less.

The Crucial would still be very fast its just that the Samsung will be truly wicked fast. 

 

You can clone the hard drive to the new SSD and you can actually continue to have both storage devices in the laptop. 

 

Post back if you need to discuss further and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.
