Can I upgrade my storage to nvme m.2 ssd in hp pailion x360 convertible 13-s102tu

[SaketDeshmukh]

It's been a long time I bought this laptop and that's why it is running on old hardware that means its speed is too slow as per my needs today. It is initially equipped with a 1TB HDD and 4GB DDR3 RAM. I don't want to buy a new laptop instead I would like to upgrade the same laptop. Because its speed is too slow I want to upgrade its storage as well as memory. I want to upgrade my old HDD with NVMe SSD. It would help me a lot if anyone tells me that can I upgrade my laptop with NVMe m.2 SSD.

Hi,

It does not have an M2 slot. So you will need to replace the Hard Drive with a 2.5" SATA 3 SSD such as the 2.5" Samsung 870Evo or similar. You can get it from your preferred brand and capacity.

Max RAM is 16GB of DDR3L 1600MHz (2x8GB)

I would insert an extra 4 GB in the empty slot for a total of 8GB

It will give a great boot to the everyday performance of the machine.

Hope it helps,
