Envy 17-ch0784ng 2TB SSD

[Guenter4]

Hi, I want to change the 1TB SSD to a 2TB or 4TB SSD. Hardware exchanging is not a problem. Do the Laptop accept and run with a 2TB or 4TB SSD? 

Thanks and many regards from Germany

Hi:

There are no programs or information that will tell you how large a capacity NVMe SSD you can install in your notebook.

Theoretically, the sky's the limit as long as the drive you buy is single sided so that it fits in the slot.

The drive capacities HP offered in the model series are just what they offered, not the maximum capacity supported.

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

The Crucial SSD report for your notebook's model series indicates that they sell NVMe SSD's up to 4 TB, so I don't see that you would have any issues with what you want to do.

Just note that since your notebook has an Intel 11th generation core processor, if you do a clean installation of Windows, you have to load the Intel storage controller drivers at the part where Windows asks where do you want to install Windows, or you can use the HP cloud recovery tool to make a bootable USB recovery drive to reinstall Windows on the new SSD, or you can clone the existing drive's contents to the new drive.

Hi Paul,

thank you very much! I'll buy a 4TB WD NVMe SSD. The installed SSD is WD SN530 NVMe 1TB.

Best regards, Guenter
