How to add 2.5 SSD?

Hi:

Normally if the notebook only came with a M.2 SSD, the parts are not there to add a 2.5" drive.

Below is the link to the service manual. 

Chapter 3, page 18 has the list of parts required to add a 2.5" drive, if the parts are not there to add one.

HP does not sell any of the parts you need after I searched the HP parts store in Ireland.

They have a list of suppliers you can contact.

It would probably be a lot easier to just replace the 256 GB M.2 SATA SSD with one having a greater storage capacity if your notebook does not already have the parts to add a 2.5" drive included.
