Product: Pavilion Notebook 15-ab153nr
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a Pavilion 15-ab153nr with an ATA Hard drive that I am getting imminent HDD failure warnings from.  Can this notebook be paired with an SSD or should I just scrap it and start again.

Thanks for the information links.  I had figured it out when I finally found the Maintenance Manual at http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04775872.  Typo's in most documentation states ATA drives instead of SATA III drives.  I was actually surprised to find the manual as it goes against alot of other companies trying to stop diy repairs.  KUDO's to them and you for replying so quickly.
