Hello!

Appreciate expert opinion on upgrading my HP Spectre x360 13-ac0XX from 500GB to 1TB SSD (max supported).

Thank you for the information.

I recommend you use the HP tested SSD on the computer. Below is the part number for the same. However, you can install any SSD on the computer of your choice and all the SSDs you have listed are good.

I hope that answers your question.

I will check the HP recommended SSD as well.

Some of the SSDs come with heatsink. Will a SSD with or without heatsink work on my laptop? Is either one recommended?

What is the process for changing SSD? Do I need to do a backup? How do I get Windows 10 re-installed? I do not have a CD/DVD drive nor do I remember receiving a Windows 10 CD.

thank you!

You can install an SSD with or without the heat sink and both will work.

To reinstall the operating system you can use the HP cloud recovery tool.

Refer to the below article for detailed steps.
