Hi

According to the manuals i found online

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02842252

in page 7 it says it supports 160GB (SATA) SSD provided the notebook has a intel processor.

your computer initially was shipped with: 640 GB SATA (5400 rpm)

So, the motherboard (and Windows 10) will definitely support a SSD of the same (or smaller) size.

I have found that SSD devices are physically smaller than any "spinning" disk-drive.  So, "size does not matter". 🙂

Typically, any motherboard that supports 640 GB disk-drives will support disk-drives up to 2000 GB.

You need a "smarter" ("newer") motherboard to support any disk-drive larger than that.

At the time that the manual was written, if your CTO ("Customized To Order") computer was assembled to your specifications, the only "Genuine HP Part" SSD that could be selected was the 160GB device.

I'm sure that any SSD, up to 2000 GB, will work.
