Dear all,

Can my HP 14-bs034TX upgrade to M.2 SDD? Does it come with M.2 or NVMe?

Thank you,

Hi Martin,

Yes the notebook has an M2 slot with support for M2 SATA3 SSD such as the M2 Samsung 860 Evo or similar of your desired capacity (no limit)

On page 51of service manual you can see the steps to install the drive. You will need to reinstall the OS on the SSD.

It will give a great boost in performance in everyday use.

Hope it helps,

David

No. It will only support M2 SATA3 SSDs not M2 PCIe NVMe SSDs

Hope it helps,

Hi David,

Noted and thanks, can I use clone method to clone my data from my current HDD to the SDD?

Thank you,

Yes, you can clone by using the software which is provided with the SSD. Crucial has Acronis, Samsung provides Samsung Migration software.

You could also perform a clean install on the SSD.
