What type of SSD is compatible with Envy X360 model 15t-aq200

[Jkutyna]

Thank you.  I had already come to that conclusion.   AFTER I had literally taken EVERYTHING out of the laptop (mainboard and all) just to see if the memory and m.2 slots were hiding on the top side of the mainboard.   It all went well in the end, got everything back into place.

I didn't touch that shield initially because it's connected with tape to the heat tubes and I figured was all part of the processor.   Turns out it was just an I/O shield of some sort that pops off as you suggested and lo and behold, underneath was the 2 memory sticks and the m.2 slot.

I would like to point out, that the laptop did not come with the installation screw required to hold down the 2280 NVME drive, and those aren't supplied by the SSD sellers either, at least not by Samsung.   You get these by the plenty with decent desktop cases, so I was able to make it work, but someone else might not be so fortunate.   

I didn't respond till now that I had solved my own problem as I got sick that night and have been slowly recovering.

Yes thanks for reporting back and letting us know you did this all by yourself. Good job.

Are you sure there's not a capacity limitation?  I'm wanting to upgrade my 128GB SSD but it appears that I already have the maximum that will work in dual storage mode.  (I have the HP Envy x360 m6 Convertible PC model number 15-aq2XX) and the Maintenance & Service Guide shows:

Again no capacity limit. The Manual merely catalogues what a technician will find in the field with original HP hardware. No reason you cannot install as large a capacity M.2 as your budget permits.

I have the dual storage configuration and upgraded my SSD to 500GB.  No issues.  This is what I bought:  https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/ssd-970-evo-plus-nvme-m-2-500...

Do you think this samsung evo plus would work for the model 15t-aq200 and do I need a connector to attach the SSD to the SAAT cabel?

[Huffer]

There is no cable to connect it to. There is a dedicated M.2 slot above the battery under the back cover.

And yes the 970 Evo Plus will work and is an excellent choice.

thank you, Acutally my hard disk has crashed recently and I choose to switch with the ssd. Some how I came across this community, and is their any way I can istall the windows to my system with out buying the new one. And can I recover the data in that old hard disk?  

[Huffer]

Probably you can recover data off the old drive with a us to SATA cable; just hook it up as an external drive to another computer.

Just download Windows 10 to a thumb drive and reinstall. The activation server will just recognize your computer and reactivate. Free download and will work if the laptop ever had Windows 10 installed and activated.
