Hello! I need some help here.
I already bought a 'bracket' (L24490-001) for my SSD SATA 2.5" but i don't know how to use/install it to my SSD SATA 2.5" slot in my laptop because there's no screw/bolt to make sure it's not shaking or loose. Is there any additional parts i should buy?
HP 14-dk10025wm
Thank you for answering

No, the image is NOT the right part. Where did you get the information from ? Your machine has 2.5" drive already, its specs

It should also has M.2 slot for SATA or NVMe drive.
Anyway, from your photo, sounds like your machine has M.2 drive but not 2.5" SATA drive. You also need Hard drive cable part # L23187-001 and few screws. Page 36 of the following manual shows you how.

Hi, thanks for the answer.
There are two types for this laptop, one with HDD storage and another one with SSD M.2 Nvme.
I decided to buy with SSD M.2 Nvme, why? Yeah, you know most people think that SSD is more faster than HDD, so i bought with SSD M.2 Nvme.
I know that this laptop have 2 slots of RAM and around three months ago i upgraded it and that's where i know some space/slot and idk what for. Then i asked to someone what it is and someone explain that it's for additional store, it can be HDD or SSD SATA 3 2.5".
Because my laptop running out of storage i buy extra SSD SATA 3 2.5" and the connector cable.

I have asked about the empty space/slot before. Please check the link below.

You have to combine TWO answers. Definitely you have to buy the HDD cable as mentioned on my previous reply.
