Upgrade my SSD to higher capacity?

[Viffergb]

I'm thinking about upgrading my SSD on my 'HP ENVY x360 Convert 15-bp101na'.

The current SSD is a 'SanDisk SD8SN8U-128G-1006' device, according to HP Support Assistant.

I'm considering upgrading to a '256GB' or possibly a '512GB' size SSD, but when I visit 'Crucial.Com' and allow the Crucial Scan utility to run, it comes back saying no upgrade options are currently available.

Can anyone shed any light on the subject, please?

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes. You can upgrade the M2 drive which is in your system at the moment. There is no limit to capacity, so you can even go with a 1TB or 2TB drive. You can use a M2 SATA3 drive such as the M2 Samsung 860 Evo or similar or much faster M2 PCIe NVMe SSD such as the M2 Samsung 970 Evo.

On page 34 of the service manual you can see the steps to install the drive:

Found the Crucial page for your model:

Hi David,

Many thanks for the useful information.  I guess I must have messed up when I tried the search utility on the Crucial site 

Appreciate your help and advice
