@12105,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

Thank you for posting your query on this forum, it's a great place to find answers.

I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to know whether you can upgrade the HDD with an SSD 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 your computer doesn’t support SSD.

Please refer to the below service guide for more information.

Hi,

The service manual does mention an M2 slot in your system, so you should check if the slot is present on motherboard. If present you can install an M2 SATA3 drive such as the M2 Samsung 860 evoor similar. If the slot is not present you can replace the 2,5" HDD with a 2,5" SSD such as the 2.5" Samsung 860evo or similar. You can get of your desired capacity.

On page 42 of service manual you can see steps to replace the drive:
