Upgrade Notebook 15-bw024nl with SSD

[Mfalcon]

Hi.

I need to know if I can insert a SSD M.2 in my Notebook 15-bw024nl or if I have to change the standard FDD with the SSD Serial ATA III.

Here an image where I suppose there is the connection.mainboard 15-bw024nl

Thanks.

Hi Andrea,

Yes you can install an M2 SATA3 SSD such as the Samsung 860 Evo or similar.

Exactly in the slot, you showed in the picture.

There is no limit to capacity.

On page 55 of the service manual, you can see the steps to install the drive

You can then either transfer the OS from the old drive to the SSD (clone)

or create a USB and factory reinstall using HP cloud recovery

or create USB directly from Microsoft and clean install

Hope it helps,

Thanks a lot for your answer.

My intention is to clone the old drive (1 TB) on the new SSD . The dimension is not important, actually I have busy 170 MB (software + data), so I think can choose from 250 MB or 480 MB.

But is simply and safe to clone the FDD? I've read something but I'm not so sure...
