Product: Pavilion 14-ab166us
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am looking to upgrade my laptop (Pavilion 14-ab166us), by replacing my hard drive with an SSD. Would I be able to open up the laptop  and have access to where the HD is in order to take it out and replace it with an SSD? If so, what are SSD (mfg/models) that are compatible with this hardware?

You  can replace  1TB 5400RPM hard drive with 1TB or 2TB of 2.5" SSD from many vendors, specially Crucial MX/BX500 series, Samsung 850/860 EVO series. For example

 

                       https://www.crucial.com/ssd/mx500/ct2000mx500ssd1/ct12385126              (2TB)

                       https://www.crucial.com/ssd/mx500/ct1000mx500ssd1/ct12384985              (1TB)

 

Regards.
