Product: Victus by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-e0000 (2V8Z4AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hello, I want to upgrade the storage in my laptop as it currently has only 500 GB. According to the laptop's manual it is equipped with two SSD slots. Does this mean I can simply buy a compatible SSD, install it, and then use both drives? The original one with Windows on it and the new one to store all my games?

Should I trust the manual? I don’t want to buy a smaller SSD (assuming that the laptop has two slots, so I can reuse one), only to open it and find just one. I did open the laptop before when I was upgrading the ram, but I didn’t check whether it had two storage slots. The laptop model is Victus by HP Laptop 16-e0246nw (5B7W2EA).

Hi:

 

You can trust the manual because here is a video which shows the two drive positions.
