Hi @abcd123489353,

Thank you for the response.

Let’s get you set up,  upgrading your HP Pavilion 15-cs1000tx to an SSD is one of the best upgrades you can do. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you plan it out:

Check your current storage configuration

Your Pavilion 15-cs1000tx typically comes with:

1 × 2.5" SATA HDD (most common)

1 × M.2 slot for NVMe SSD (many variants have this too!)

How to check?

Open HP Support Assistant or Device Manager → Disk Drives to see if you have an HDD or M.2 SSD already.

Or check your HP manual or look inside the laptop (I can guide you how).

Choose the right SSD

Option A, Replace HDD with 2.5" SATA SSD:

Get a 2.5" SATA SSD (like Samsung 870 EVO, Crucial MX500, WD Blue).

This is the easiest swap if you only have a HDD now.

Option B — Add M.2 NVMe SSD:

If your model has a free M.2 slot, you can add a fast NVMe SSD without removing your HDD.

Look for M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe SSD (Samsung 980, WD SN570, Kingston NV2, Crucial P3, etc.).

Back up your data

Make sure you back up important files first.

If you want to clone your old HDD to SSD, you’ll need a USB-to-SATA cable or M.2 enclosure, plus free software like Macrium Reflect or Acronis True Image.

Install the SSD

Basic steps:

Power off → Unplug adapter → Remove battery (if removable).

Open the back panel (usually 8–12 screws — check your service manual).

For 2.5" SSD: Remove old HDD, place SSD in the same bracket, connect SATA cable.

For M.2: Find the M.2 slot → Slide in the NVMe SSD → Secure with the small screw.

Close the back panel → Boot into BIOS → Make sure the SSD is detected.

Install Windows or clone

If you cloned Boot, it should load as normal.

If you didn’t: Use a bootable USB with Windows 10/11 installer → Fresh install → Activate using your existing license.

Pro Tip:

If you add an M.2 SSD, you can keep the old HDD as extra storage.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for the detailed response. But due to the vast difference, I am getting confused. Could you please provide me a video recording, screen recording, or any kind of step-by-step pictures?

This manual includes step‑by‑step instructions with diagrams and pictures for removing and replacing parts like the HDD, SSD, and RAM.

Here’s how you can get it:
