HP ENVY Notebook 13
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a HP ENVY Notebook 13 - d021tu. Is it possible to upgrade the ssd and ram? Right now it has 8GB ram and around 120GB of space. And I only have around 5GB free space left 😞 

 

I want to run photoshop but it's laggy and takes up a lot of storage on the laptop. If it's not possible then I guess I'm gonna try and build a computer. 

 

Thankyou very much in advance for helping!

The following link shows its specs

  1. It has  8 GB LDDR3 SDRAM (onboard). Onboard means soldered to the motherboard and you can't add or replace.
  2. It has 128GB of M.2 SSD and you can upgrade up  512-MB, M2, SATA-3, supporting triple level cell (TLC). Higher than that may not fit physically.

You can defer upgrade by using SD card on its multi-format SD media card reader.  Adding 256GB will give you more room. Example

One of my test machines only has 128GB of storage and I installed manything on its but I atill have around 25% spare after 4 years because all my data/files are on the SD card.

 

Regards.
