hp victus 15-fa0011tx upgradability and fan cleaning

[Jo2708]

Hello, I have several questions about hp victus 15-fa0011tx :

• How should I upgrade its storage one day? Is it true that only 1 NVME slot exists?
• How to clean the dust inside the laptop without voiding the warranty?

Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you want information about upgrading and cleaning your notebook, I am glad to assist you.

1) You can upgrade up to 1 TB of storage, yes it has 1 NVME slot.

2) Follow the steps mentioned under "Cleaning the air vents to reduce fan workload" in this document:- Click here

To clarify, is that 1 NVME already used or I can add another one?
And if I can use 2 NVME, does that mean 1 TB each NVME or in total?

It has only one NVME slot.

Jo2708, the HP Support Agent is 100% correct. Just one (1) Gen4.0 m.2 slot in this Alder Lake Victus. This is what it looks like when you take off the bottom cover. You can see the single ssd slot:

You can read its manual https://kaas.hpcloud.hp.com/pdf-public/pdf_5957172_en-US-1.pdf and see the Official HP Gen4.0 SSD drives you can order (and their part numbers) -up to 1 Terabyte. Unofficial aftermarket SSD drives can exceed 1TB and can be 2TB, 4TB, etc.
