Product: 15-ef2030ca
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I am waiting for my new Laptop to arrive, but was wondering if I will be able to add an HDD to this laptop. It comes with a 1tb SSD and 16 gigs of Ram.

Some of the Videos I have searched show teardowns but not of my specific model. Does anyone know if I can install and internal HDD? Thanks...

Hi:

 

HP only has the service manual for the older 15-ef0xxx model series and according to chapter 1 of that manual, only M.2 SSD's are supported.  There are no options to add a 2.5" drive.
