Does my HP Envy 17" Laptop have sufficient power and space to support an upgrade from 1TB to 4TB SSD?

Hi @JGM8,

Welcome to the HP support community.


Thank you for reaching out to HP Support with your question about upgrading the SSD in your HP Envy 17″ laptop to 4 TB. I’m happy to help clarify how this works.

While many HP Envy 17″ models are designed with upgradeable storage and can often support higher-capacity SSDs, not all models will support a 4 TB drive. It depends on the specific model, the type of SSD interface (NVMe or SATA), the BIOS firmware, and available space in the chassis.

To check if your particular laptop can support the upgrade, could you please share the following privately (not posted publicly):

  • The exact model name or product number (e.g., HP Envy 17-e1000, or something similar).
  • The serial number (S/N) from the label on the bottom of the laptop.
  • A brief description of your existing SSD (if known), for example: “1 TB NVMe M.2 drive in slot 1”.

With those details, we can look up the exact hardware configuration and tell you:

  • Whether the motherboard supports 4 TB SSDs,
  • What type/interface your laptop uses (M.2 NVMe, SATA, or slot vs. bay),
  • Any firmware/BIOS version required for full compatibility, and
  • Whether you may need to update drivers/firmware or adjust any settings after installation.

Please send those details when you’re ready, and we’ll help you proceed with the upgrade with confidence.

Please help us with the Printer serial number or the product number in a private message for further assistance.
