Hello,
I have BS145TU laptop and I am planning to add SSD in it.
Anyone can give me information like M.2 Sata , M.2 Nvme supported or not?
If supported then upto how many Gbs(240 GB/250 GB/500 GB/1 TB)?
Can I install SSD at home or Do I need to contact any computer mechanic?
I will appreciate if someone show me M.2 port in BS145TU motherboard.
Note: I don't want to remove my existing 1TB drive.

The specs of your machine is
https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05859376
Manual
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05493257.pdf
Your machine has Core processor, namely : Intel® Core™ i5-8250U (1.6 GHz base frequency, up to 3.4 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, 6 MB cache, 4 cores) therefore you can add M.2 SATA SSD to your machine (as shown on page 3).
It supports huge but due to physical size you can use up to 2TB

Thanks @Banhien for quick reply.
As I can see in documentation I can add up to max 256GB m.2 SSD along with 1TB HDD and as per your message I can add up to 2 TB so which is correct?
Also, as you have not mentioned about Nvme SSD so it is not supported in model?
Can I have motherboard diagram so It will helpful for me to install M.2 sata SSD at home.
Thanks,

This is the photo of my motherboard and as I know this is the m.2 port.
As I can see this port have single slot and as per my knowledge NVME work on single slot while M.2 Sata work on 2 ports.
so M.2 nvme will be supported or not?
Thanks in advance.
