Upgrading to a M.2 SSD

[D_Hammon]

I have the HP 15-dw0037wm.

What M.2 SSD will work best in my system?

Hi:

Your notebook's M.2 slot supports both NVMe and SATA M.2 SSD's.

NVMe SSD's have faster read/write speeds than SATA SSD's have.

Below is the link to the service manual.

Thank you.
On that note....
What is the best way to migrate the old hdd over to a new m.2 ssd?

You're very welcome.

I have only done that once because for me since I don't have a lot of programs and files to reinstall on new drives, I clean install Windows and reinstall my programs and files.

The one time I have cloned a drive was by using the free Macrium Reflect utility...the program on the left side of the page under the Backup at Home section.

If you are cloning your existing drive's contents to a smaller capacity drive, you can watch the video at the link below:
