Product: Pavilion 13-a113cl
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an older Pavilion 13 x360 with a 5,400 RPM 1TB hard drive in it and wanted to know if I could upgrade it to an SSD. If so are there any requirements that the SSD has to meet (like under a certain storage capacity) and is there addition hardware and/or software that I would need to do this?

Hi @devon-w! Yes, you can upgrade your laptop with an SSD if you want to. Once you get it you can decide whether or not you want to make a fresh OS installation, or you can try clone the current OS installed with some cloning software. As far as I know there are no limitations about the size of the SSD, but I could suggest to keep your current HDD as a secondary external storage location for mass data (movies, music, etc.), as long as it's not failing of course. Hope this helps and best of luck! 🙂
