Hi @ravenflaree,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

 

Thank you for reaching out. I understand you need at least 256 GB of additional storage as soon as possible for work, and I'll be glad to help.
 

Before I provide any recommendations, could you please let me know whether you are looking to:

  • Purchase an external plug-and-play SSD that connects through USB and can be used right away, or
  • Install a new SSD internally inside the notebook?

Also, could you please share the complete model number or the product number (P/N) of your HP 15-dy2xxx notebook? The base model series alone is not enough for us to accurately verify the storage specifications, SSD compatibility, and available upgrade options. I want to make sure we provide the correct information and avoid recommending anything that may not be compatible with your specific configuration.
 

Once you share the full model or product number, I'll be happy to check the supported storage options and guide you further.

 

Take care and have an amazing day!

I'm an HP Employee.
