I want to upgrade my hard drive to solid state drive.  What's the best way to do this?  Is there a 2nd slot to add another drive or do I need to replace the hard drive with a SSD?

 

What kind of SSD do I need to order?

 

Thanks!

You can add an M.2 NVMe SSD to your machine using

             https://www.crucial.com/products/ssd/crucial-p2-ssd

       Or similar from reputable vendors.

                    One example (compatible drive, can use smaller/larger capacity)

thanks so much for the quick response!

Just to clarify, my laptop only has room for 1 or 2 drives?

Also, will I need to order adapters to connect this to my laptop?
