[AsKnownAs]

Hi my product is HP pavilion 15-n206st and it has 1TB Hdd and i want to upgrade it to ssd. Hp s700 120 250 or 500 Gb is it compatible to my notebook?

Hi,

Yes, it is compatible. You can insert any 2.5" SATA3 SSD of your desired capacity. So, HP s700 will work.

On page 59 of service manual you can see the steps to replace the drive:

you will need to install the OS on the SSD either by using recovery drives, migrating an image or performing clean install wit media you can download from Microsoft

Hope it helps,

Thank you very much. I have one more question. If I want to upgrade my notebook ram and graphics card is it possible? If it is possible what specifications have ram and graphics card ?

Your welcome @AsKnownAs 

The SSD should give a great boost to the system.

You can not upgrade the Graphics "card" as it is integrated on the motherboard (soldered) together with the graphics subsystem.

You can upgrade the RAM to max 16GB of DDR3L 1600Mhz (2x8GB) even if service manual mentions 12GB.

I believe at the moment you have 12GB (1x8GB and 1x4GB). So you could replace the 4GB module with an 8GB module. You can buy RAM from your preferred brand such as Crucial, Samsung...

On page 42 of service manual you can see the steps to install the RAM

As I said above the SSD will be the more noticeable upgrade.

All the best,

David

I upgraded my HDD to SAMSUNG 860 EVO 250GB SSD and my memory to 16GB by using 8GB RAMAXEL instead of 4GB. Is there any other hardware I can upgrade my computer for increasing performance?

Hi,

I believe that is the best you are going to get. Did you perform a clean install of Windows 10? In my opinion, a "fresh" start is always the best option.

Anyway, how is it running compared to before? The SSD should be giving a good boost to the system.
