pavilion al111tx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
 Hi,

I want to upgrade my hp 14 inch 
pavilion al111tx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My laptop has 1tb harddisk?
The manual says I can add upto 256gb SSD. Can I put in a 500gb ssd?
Can I put in hdd plus ssd? or does it support only one drive?

Regards,
Pradeep

Two hard drives in your 14 in notebook, as in one M.22280 SATA3 TLC and a legacy hard disk is a possible upgrade.

 

Yes, you can update to a 512 GB SSD.

 

You will need a Solid state drive bracket HP p/n 856067-001 in order to install an M.2 SSD. You can purchase the bracket from from online vendors.

 

For disassembly of the notebook see the following remove and replacement videos. Watch the solid state drive video

Your notebook is the successor to the HP Pavilion 14-al000 notebook PC.

Firstly, Thany you for your quick reply.
I decided to replace the hdd completely with a samsung 500 GB 860 evo basic 2.5 inch ssd.
I will use USB-to-IDE/SATA adapter to take or use hdd externally.
Would that be possible , replacing hdd with ssd completely?



HP Recommended

Yes, You can do that.

 

Your notebook will get a considerable and perceptibile performance boost with the samsung 500 GB 860 evo installed.

 

Samsung V-Nand is TLC memory, so it will be compatible with your notebook's BIOS.
