Do you understand what you are looking at in the service manual?

The first picture is about the 2.5" Hard Drive (i showed you above that you could replace with 2.5" SSD)

The second picture is about the DVD slot in the notebook.

 

No M2 SSD.

Hi,

There is no M2 slot in the notebook for SSD.

What you should do is replace the

replace the hard drive with a 2.5"SATA3 SSD of your preferred brand and capacity

Example:

https://www.amazon.in/Samsung-500GB-Internal-Solid-MZ-76E500BW/dp/B079D47Q7F/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=860...

https://www.amazon.in/Crucial-MX500-500GB-2-5-inch-SSD/dp/B0786QNS9B/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=860+evo&qid...

You can then either clone the old drive using the software which comes with the SSD or you can perform a clean install of the OS by creating a bootable USB drive from Microsoft

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

and then install HP support assistant for drivers and more

https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html

On page 42 of the service manual, you can see the steps to replace the drive.

Max RAM is 16GB of DDR3L 1600MHz (2x8GB) even if service manual mention 8GB

There are two slots and at the moment you have one 4GB module. You can purchase from your preferred brand.

Example

https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/HP-Compaq/hp-15-ac009tu#MEMORYFilters

On page 46 of the service manual, you can see the steps to install the RAM.

 

Hope it helps,

David

I unplug the device and my device has a spare M2 slot with a cable connected to the standby. But I don't know which SSD

First, try not to keep on posting the same question and stuff!

 

Your PC does not have an M2 slot. It only has slot for the WIFI module. It does not have slot for M2 SSD. 

If you believe it does, you can send me a picture of the slot.

David

That is the SATA port for the DVD player. It is not for a M2 SSD (it will not fit and it will not work).
