HP Pavilion X360 14 ba016nw Drive upgrade

[Bart90]

Hello,

I would like to replace hdd (1tb sata) in my Pavilion x360 with an SSD drive. Is it even possible? If so, what kind of drive would I have to buy? And is there any tutorial on the interent how to do this on my own? I couldn't find any (for this exact model).

Thank you in advance for your responses!

Here are the videos from the HP Services Media Library:

You need to enable flash player and the videos can play. 

Also here is the Service Manual:

You can either replace the mechanical hard drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD like the Samsung 860 Evo:

OR, your laptop has an M.2 slot which can take a 2280 form factor M.2 SATA SSD, and Samsung also makes those which they also call an 860 Evo:

To replace the hard drive with the 2.5 inch SSD is a bit of an easier operation. To get to the M.2 slot you must remove the system (mother) board which is pretty much a thing for experienced laptop techs but there is a video covering it in the site I linked. 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if its the info you needed.
