Compatibility of hardware

[Harrison2006]

Hi! 

I have a hp notebook - 15-ay566tu with specs:

Processor: intel Core i3 6006u

Ram: 4gb ddr4

OS: Microsoft Windows (64-bit) 

HDD: 1tb

SSD: no SSD 

I wanted to ask if can install both HDD and SSD on my laptop as my laptop is really slow so that I can transfer the C: drive to the SSD and store my other files in my HDD? 

Please help!

Not easily. Here is the Service Manual:

There is no separate SSD slot on the motherboard. To use a SATA M.2 SSD you have to use an adapter plate in the hard drive bay in place of the hard drive. The only way to do what you want is to get a 2.5 inch SATA SSD and replace the hard drive with that, inside the laptop, and then move the hard drive over to a DVD bay hard drive adapter. So you lose the DVD burner and have a storage hard drive mounted in its place. No point in trying to install an M.2 SATA since you would need extra hardware for that and it would be no faster than a 2.5 inch SATA SSD, which could be installed using hardware you already have. A DVD bay adapter can be found for like $15. 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.
