HP Notebook - 15-bs571ur
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello everyone!

My case is next: I want to upgrade my hard drive disk to SSD one. I am new to this, so I have no clue how it is done. So, how do I choose SSD model that is compitable with my device? How do I install it? How do I activate it and transfer my data (including windows itself) from the old drive to the new one? Is it possible to keep my hard drive and install SSD? Are there some other issues with SSD that I should know beforhand?

Thanks in advance!

Your machine only has Intel® Pentium® N3710 (1.6 GHz base frequency, up to 2.56 GHz burst frequency, 2 MB cache, 4 cores) processor therefore it does not support dual storage. You can replace existing 2.5" SATA SSD using standard 2.5" SATA SSD's on market today. For example (2TB is a safe choice):

You can not keep the old drive (internal), you can use it as an external HDD. You can use the following Guide to migrate old HDD to new SSD

Note: I used to clone old HDD's to new SSD 's  up to 10 times each year. 100% worked. Not now.
