Product: HP Gaming laptop
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I want to buy a 500 gig SSD to replace the 128 gig (?) That came in the laptop.

What do I need to know about the specs when I buy the SSD?

Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide for the laptop.  In Chapter 5, Removal and replacement procedures for Customer Self-Repair parts, Page 44, is a list of the compatible M.2 SSD's.  I like Samsung SSD's because they seem to work best with HP BIOS'es.

@CWBillow1 , welcome to the forum.

 

What is the full model of the computer? I need this information to review the specifications of it. Please don't furnish the Serial # or other personal information.  I will help you further when I have this information.
