Product: HP Notebook - 15q-bu105tx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hi Team,

I have HP 15Q-BU105TX laptop. I want to know if my laptop support M.2 SSD upgrade as I don't want to use SATA. It's been used already.

If M.2 slot is present, what capacity and type of SSD I can install?

Thank you.

Hi:

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

 

The supported drive types can be found in chapter 1 on page 3

 

HP 15 Laptop PC (Intel)HP 15g Laptop PCHP 15q Laptop PC Maintenance and Service Guide

 

Your notebook has a M.2 slot that supports SATA SSD's only, not NVMe.

 

HP offered M.2 SATA SSD's up to 512 GB, so you would be fine with that, and if you need more storage, you could probably install a 1 TB M.2 SATA SSD because the drives sizes listed in the manual are just what HP offered in the model series, not the max capacity supported.
