Product: Victus by HP 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop 15-fb0000 (598V0AV)

I just purchased a new Victus by HP 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop 15-fb0000 series laptop for my wife and would like to upgrade the SSD.  Being not to cpu friendly is this something I can do at home, or should I outsource the task?  The laptop hasn't been turned on so there is no data on the original drive except the OS and what is from the factory.  I would rather do the swap now that the drive is empty then to wait when there will be tons of data to transfer.  Thank you in advance.

Upgrading the SSD to one of higher storage capacity is not a problem.

 

The specs need to be 1 TB PCIe® NVMe™ TLC M.2 SSD.

It is just a matter of choice of doing it yourself, if your confidence  for disassembling the notebook is high, or having it done by a technician at a shop.
You already know the answer to that.
