Product: HP Laptop - 15-gw0023od
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I am upgrading my HP Laptop - 15-Gw0023od with a SSD. Since I don't physically replace the HD with the SSD (there are connectors for both), can I leave the HD in as a data drive (D:) and boot from the SSD? Or, do I have to remove the HD?

Thanks,

TJ

Your machine does support dual storage. You can add M.2 SSD drive (SATA-3/NVMe) SSD to your machine and keep the old HDD for storage.

 

Regards.
