HP 15-BA113CL Notebook - Boot from SSD in M.2? How to get to BIOS settings?

[cdsol]

I have a need to permanently remove the factory installed 1 Tb HDD from the SADA connection and replace it with 1 Tb SSD using the M.2 connectoion.

Here are my questions:

1.  Can I change the BIOS settings so that the system will boot off of the M.2 SSD?

2.  How do I access the BIOS settings?

3.  Will this system support a 1 Tb SSD in M.2?

Many thanks!

Hi Carl,


Manual:

1. Yes, http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c00364979

Remove 2.5 inch SATA HDD, put in at least 256gb M.2 SSD, Use recovery media (USB) to factory reset OS to M.2 SSD. Boot from it.

2. Access: http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c00034791

3. M.2 2280 SATA-3 SSD, page 55. 256gb is listed tested in your model. But 1TB should work.
