Product: HP Notebook - 17-by1062st
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I was thinking to install additional SSD keeping 1TB HDD, however there's not socket to install SSD in this laptop,  manual is confusing, HP support isn't good.

 Is there a possibility to remove the HDD and install only  a SSD?

 

Thanks

Kleber

The series supports DUAL storage (page 3) with M.2 NVMe/SATA SSD + 2.5" HDD therefore you can add M.2 SSD to your machine and keep existing 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA using Crucial P1/P2, Samsung 970EVO or similar M.2 SSD's . For example

Thanks for your response. However, as I said before, there isn't a slot/socket ready to plug my SSD, so, my question: if i buy the socket this motherboard will have a connector to this socket?

Please, Can you help me to find the motherboard manual? I need to make sure that there is a support for ssd, sorry to say that but this HP manual is general, I need something more specific.

Another question, why this model doesn't have this SSD socket?

Why HP doesn't describe this in the manual? Can you help me where to buy this socket (3 parts as HP manual said...

 

Thanks
