Product: HP ENVY Laptop - 17-cg0511sa
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I want to install a larger capacity Hard Drive. I need to know if this is possible and if so, what product is compatible please? I am looking at probably 1TB.

Specifications for your laptop say it has a 1 TB hard drive and a 256 gig M.2 SSD installed from the factory. Do you want to add an additional 1 TB? If so you need to install a 2 TB drive, which its possible to do. See p. 35 of the Service Manual here:

Thank you so much for your help that is brilliant and I'm happy there is a solution.

 

I now know how to change and what memory Dive I require, do you know what specification, model, part number or anything where I know I will be purchasing a viable replacement part please?

Thanks again.

 I would recommend you install a 2 TB 2.5 inch SATA SSD instead of the mechanical hard drive. Much faster and a drop in replacement using the same mounting points and cable connection. Many options but this one is a good choice:
