Can I upgrade my SSD from 1TB to 2TB on this machine?

Thanks

Hi Steve,

Yes, there is no limit to the capacity of the M2 PCIe NVMe SSD, so you can upgrade to a 2TB drive.

On page 29 of service manual you can see the steps to replace the drive

Hi David,

Thanks for the prompt reply. SSD has been replaced and running perfectly since I was down to about 12 GB free space on the original drive.

For the help of the community here is the process

1. Purchase an Orico NVME M.2 SSD External Enclosure - inexpensive

2 Purchase a Samsung V-NAND SSD 970 EvO Plus NVMe M,2 2TB drive - expensive but the fast one.

3. Connect external 2TB SSD via USB and initialise SSD.

4. Clone the current 1TB SSD out to the 2TB SSD with Acronis True Image 2021 SSD Cloning tool - about 1.5 hours

5. Swap the drives in the laptop, reboot and perfect.

Didn't do any benchmark tests before but it is very quick - loads the Windows startup screen in seconds rather than minutes and no more watching the address bar progress in Windows Explorer.

Thanks for your help.

Steve
