Hi:

You can replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive with a 2.5" SATA SSD.

See chapter 6 of the service manual for the hard drive removal and replacement procedure.

Hi.

Maintenance and service guide also shows info on m.2 ssd.

Where I can locate the slot?

Thanks.

You're very welcome.

The reason I didn't mention anything about the M.2 slot is because only the 15-au notebooks that came with a M.2 SATA SSD have the M.2 slots.

If you look at chapter 3 of the service manual, you will see that the M.2 slot is an add on part, so it is not included unless the notebook came with a M.2 slot from the factory.

So, that was the reason for my answer...you can only install a 2.5" SATA SSD in your notebook.

Thanks Bro.

Can I buy that add-on m.2 part in India?

Need your suggestions.

And even though I buy it where I can install it on board.

If you have any youtube video explaining it kindly share.

Thanks for your support.

You're very welcome.

Unfortunately, I don't know where you can find the parts you need to add a M.2 SATA SSD slot for sale in India.

However, here is the link to the service manual and chapter 3 has the parts you need to add a M.2 SSD slot.

If you have mistakenly bought a M.2 SATA SSD already, you can also purchase a 2.5" SATA SSD adapter and use it where the hard drive goes.
