Hello,

My laptop config 

RAM - 8GB

OS - Win10 64 bit 

Processor - A10 APU Quad Core

Hard Drive - 1TB HDD SATA.

My laptop performance is really bad day by day. I know it is a of hard drive , is there any possibility to upgrade the hard disk to SSD?

Hi:

You should be able to install a 2.5" x 7.0mm solid state drive of the storage capacity and brand of your choosing.

You can reinstall W10 by using the media creation tool at the link below to create bootable W10 installation media.

During the installation, if you are asked to enter a product key, select the 'I don't have a product key' option and W10 will install and automatically activate once you are connected to the internet.

Here is the link to the service manual, where you can find the hard drive removal and replacement procedure.

Can  i have both ssd and the other harddrive in my laptop or only one slot is there?

does it support m2 ssd?

Hi:

There is no support for a M.2 SSD in your notebook and there is only one place for a 2.5' hard drive.

In order to install a SSD, you will have to remove and replace the existing mechanical hard drive with a 2.5" SSD.
