HP Spectre x360 - 15 SD Card Compatability

[Rapideagle]

My laptop has 256 GB of storage but I've been right against the limit for some time now so I was looking at upgrading my hard drive or finding an SD Card to improve storage space since I it has a MircoSD Card reader. Regarding the SD Card option I had a few questions:

1. What is the highest capacity MicroSD my laptop is compatible with?

2. Would the MicroSD Card protrude out of the laptop when inserted, if so is there a card that is compatible that does not protrude so it could be permanently inserted?

3. If it's not a viable option what is the best way of going about upgrading my Hard Drive Space?

According to the Product specifications it shows that your PC has been shipped with 256 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD Hard drive and 1 microSD media card reader.

Let's answer your questions one by one: 

1. What is the highest capacity MicroSD my laptop is compatible with? Up to 256 GB storage capacity. However, HP does not provide the maximum size of the SD card accepted. I would suggest you could try up to 64 GB which should be compatible on you laptop.

3. If it's not a viable option what is the best way of going about upgrading my Hard Drive Space? Yes, you can try to upgrade the SSD to 512 GB
