Envy m7 n101dx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am wondering I just purchased one like this and have not recieved it yet, but am wondering if the Motherboard has the slot for a M.2 hard drive?
I have been looking and the only manual I can find is for the Evny m17 n and they say thay have them

What about this?

 

SSD conƭgurations
, (available for i7 + GTX PCA)
● 512 GB M.2 SATA SSD (TLC)
● 128 GB M2 SATA-3 (TLC)
● 128 GB M2 SATA-3 (TLC) value

 

If you do have an M.2 slot it is on the backside of the motherboard. Good luck.

This is the Manual and no your model has no M.2 slot.

Manual

 

Only models with i7 processor and GTX graphics have an M.2 slot and yours has an i7 but its the 940M graphics so no M.2 slot.

It's just I look at the manual it says

Dual storage configurations:●
1-TB + 256 GB M.2 SATA SSD (TLC)●
4-TB: 2-TB (5400-rpm) x 2
and it says 
Internal card expansion
One M.2 slot for WLAN
One M.2 slot for SSDPorts
So I just want to be sure before I waste the money to buy a HD Kit and a 2.5 SSD.

Well am I wrong?

Well I am guessing since you haven't answered you must be wrong. I mean when I do a parts image search the part number is showing the 2 M.2 ports on the motherboard.

If it can't have an SSD it can't have dual storage. I think its possible you are right but I would not put a large wager on it. You are going to have to check it when you get the laptop or hit the lottery and find someone who actually has your exact model who is monitoring this Forum.

Actually it can have dual storage, I just really don't want to buy the 2nd Hard Drive kit. If I don't need to.I can get one for $30, but it will cost me also twice that if I buy a regular 2.5 SSD and the 2nd Hard Drive caddy.

And I just was hoping to get them before I received the the Notebook. That is all.

So I got the Notebook today. It had the M.2 port, but it didn't work. So You were right.
