Does HP 15 AU620tx has M.2 Slot for SSD upgrade?

I want to insert M.2 ssd in my laptop and move my OS to it,Is it possible?

I don't want to remove my optical drive and install ssd using caddy.

Thanking you.

Hi,

There should be an M2 slot with support for M2 SATA3 SSD such as the M2 Samsung 860 Evo or similar (not PCIe NVMe)

Example:

However, before buying the drive, you should take a look if the slot is physically present on the motherboard as sometimes notebooks that did not come with M2 SSD are missing physical slot. On page 29 of the service manual, you can see the steps to remove the bottom cover to take a look.

M2 slot

So, if the slot is there, you can install an M2 SATA3 SSD. If the slot is not there you could replace the 2.5"HDD with a 2.5" SSD.

Hope it helps,

David
