HP 15-fd0083wm (red) where is SSD - I took the bottom off and looked

According to "Laptop PC 15-fd0000.url", is under the cover but it is not

What I thought was an SSD is the Realtek WLan chip.

The specs say that with the N200 CPU, this laptop has a UFS `128GB Universal Flash.

If so, is it upgradable? 128GB is not enough - is bare bones.

Unfortunately, the drive is not upgradable, and it is really not a SSD per se.

 

Not as far as being a M.2 NVMe or M.2 SATA SSD, or even a 2.5" SATA SSD.

 

What your notebook has is a 128 GB Universal Flash Storage (UFS) drive, which is not as fast as a standard SATA or NVMe SSD.

 

It is an integral part of the motherboard.

 

At least HP installed a 128 GB flash storage drive and not a 64 GB or 32 GB model like they used to.
