Upgrade M.2 SSD on a HP Envy 360 m6-w103dx

[Jsdesignem]

Hi guys! First time here.

I'm thinking of upgrading my laptop's HDD to an M.2 ssd disk, but I don't know if I have any M.2 slots in it, and if BIOS it's going to recongnize it.

Can you help me?

The model is Envy 360 m6-w103dx.

It came with a 1TB 7200 disk.

I want to buy a Samsung Pro Evo M.2 disk (250 / 500 GB).

Thank you so much!

Julian

Hi

The good news is that your Pc does have a M2 slot

page 2 : Hard Drive info it says M.2 SATA-3 (NGFF): ● 256 GB,  is supported 

Page 30 : How to replace the Harddrive.

Thank you so much for your reply!

This means that I can upgrade UP TO a 256GB SSD M.2 Drive?

A 512 gb or more won't work?

Well it might just be that at the time this manual was made there was no 512 GB drive avilable, that being said it may work or may not but 256 GB should definatly work

Is there any Qualified Vendor List for the SSD M.2 Drives?

By the way, I need to know if the size of the disk is  correct.

Do you know if I can use this disk?

Samsung 950 PRO Series - 256GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD

Size:

3.2 x 0.1 x 0.9 inches

I have HP Envy m6-w103dx laptop too and I want to add a ssd on its m.2 slot. I searched a lot and found that this laptop requires a 256GB M.2 SATA-3 NGFF TLC type ssd.

Check page 32 & 32

This is what I would suggest as it has the exact same spec as required

Ok so, no one actually replied if the size was correct so, I bought it anyway.

Hope it's the right size.

Jsdesignem,
SSD you bought, it's right sized but with different controller. HP Envy series only supports M.2 SATA III TCL controller type SSD. The SSD you bought, has NVMe controller which won't be recognized by your laptop.

These three should be compatible:
