unit uses a 2.5" HDD/SSD, not an M.2. You can clone your system onto another HDD/SDD by putting a 2.5" HDD in an external USB enclosure and using a clone program (I use Macrium Reflect) to clone the system drive, then shut it down, open it up and replace the HDD. Takes about 5 minutes to swap the drive out once it's cloned.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, not that i can find any evidence of. I don't think you will see m.2 support until the XPS level of latptop. You could straight replace the HDD with an SSD after cloning windows onto the SSD. 256GB SSD is about $65 and the kit for cloning via USB3 is about $20, software is free. This would be a massive performance boost day to day use. Still wouldn't help with playing a game or graphics rendering. Its also $85 on top of a $900 (at time of posting) laptop...or you could just buy one for much cheaper with SSD already installed.
