Hi,

You have two options. You can replace the 256GB M2 PCIe NVMe SSD you have in the notebook with a larger capacity drive such as a 1TB M2 Samsung 970 Evo or similar

or you could add an extra 2.5" SSD such as the Samsung 860 Evo or even a mechanical drive such as Seagate Barracuda. For this, you would need to purchase the hard drive cable part number L23187-001 and the hard drive bracket part number L23219-001 (you could also use some strong double-sided tape instead of the bracket.

You can find parts in HP parts store:

or official reseller in the UK

On page 38 of the service manual, you can see the steps to replace the M2 drive and on page 36 how to install a 2.5" HDD or SSD
