You're very welcome.

 

That is great news.

 

Were you able to connect the 2.5" mechanical hard drive up, remove the OS and have it work with the M.2 SSD?

HP Recommended

Well that is the only bad news. I removed the OS but when I tried to connect the hdd it didn't start from ssd and then I went to a hp support center and they said it is not possible to make your m2 ssd the first boot drive cause it is arranged to start always from the hdd. So I really don't mind that cause everything else is perfect.

Thanks for letting me know.

 

I guess then in a situation like that, you buy the capacity NVMe drive you need, remove the 2.5" hard drive, connector, and caddy from the notebook. 

 

No point in having those items weighing it down if they don't work.

Hi again:)

I have one more question about graphic cards. I have 2 graphic processors which are Nvidia gtx 1050 for games and Intel hd 630 for basic stuff. I was wondering to change Nvidia but I think it is integrated to the motherboard. Is it even possible to get a new one ?

Hi:

 

You are correct.

 

The CPU and processor are integral parts of the motherboard and can only be upgraded by replacing the motherboard with one that is listed in your notebook's service manual that may come with better graphics and or processor.

 

Since your notebook is relatively new, the motherboard part alone would cost as much or more than buying a new notebook with better graphics already included.
