add hard drive HDD

[Argo20]

I would like to add a second internal HDD to my laptop, there is currently an SSD and a DVD, the SSD model is: Western Digital WDC PC SN520 SDAPNUW-512G-1006. I need the hard drive to store durable data locally.

I can't understand if there is the slot / connector and the physical space to install it

if it is possible what parts are required?

the configuration of my pc obtained with the free Speccy program is as follows:

Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU:Intel Core i7 @ 1.80GHz 29 °C
Kaby Lake-U/Y 14nm Technology

@Argo20,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to add another hard drive on your computer.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I checked the specifications of your computer and see that there is no option to add another hard drive on the computer.

Please refer to the below service guide for your computer for more information.

At the time of purchase, the seller had guaranteed me that if necessary I could add an internal hard disk.

I did a search on the HP support site and found this document which seems to me to correspond to my model, but I'm not sure, where there seem to be two connectors one for SSD and the other for hard disk.
