Hi,

If it is the Intel (Ivy Bridge or IB with UEFI - Windows 😎 model then it has a mSATA slot for a ssd cache but it could be used as a boot drive in a single drive mode (no 2.5" drive). There is also a standard SATA 2.5" hdd bay for 7 or 9mm drives. The maintenance and service guide says it supports hard drives up to 1TB so a 1TB solid drive should work too. The AMD models don't come with the mSATA slot.

Hi Shaibu,

The best idea for your notebook is to replace the 2.5" hard drive with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD such as the Samsung 860evo or similar.

Example:

On page 52 of the service manual you can see the steps to replace the drive:

You will need to install the OS on the SSD either by using HP recovery disks, migrating an image or by downloading media creation tool from Microsoft (before replacing drive), running and creating a bootable pendrive with the OS on it. Then use the pendrive to perform a clean install of Windows on the SSD.

You can get an external enclosure for the old drive and use as an external USB drive,

Hope it helps,
