Yes you can replace the hard drive. In order to access and replace the 1TB drive you will need a torx T5 I believe, and phillips head screwdriver. You have to do the following 1: Remove all Torx T5 screws from the bottom panel, the torx screws are all of the visible screws on the bottom. 2: There are 2 hidden screws under the rear feet on the bottom, peel up the rear feet (only half of the foot) on the bottom of the laptop (you can just peel half the foot off to access the PHILLIPS head screw), make sure the two screws that are located under the padded feet are backed out all the way. NOTE: THE SCREWS UNDER/INSIDE THE REAR FEET WILL NOT COME ALL THE WAY OUT, THEY JUST BACK OUT FAR ENOUGH TO RELEASE THE BOTTOM PANEL. 3: DO NOT REMOVE THE PADDED FRONT FEET ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LAPTOP, THERE ARE NO SCREWS UNDER THERE. 4: After all screws are released/removed, start with the laptop in your lap upside down where the bottom cover is facing up, and begin pulling the bottom of the laptop off from the back, work your way toward the front. I start around the hinges on each side, once each side pops off around the hinge, you can typically work your way forward. Use a credit card or guitar pick to pop the tabs if you are not wanting to just use your fingers/nails. You will hear the plastic tabs snapping/releasing, this is normal but somewhat alarming if you haven't done it before. Attached is what it looks like when off.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Is there a M.2 slot on the mother board for a SSD also? It looks like there might be one in the picture right above where the hhd is.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is definitely an M.2 slot for SSD. I just got this laptop last weekend and installed the Crucial MX300 (275Gb) SSD into it. I reinstalled Windows fresh to it using the Microsoft create installation media tool (for USB drive)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In addition to my previous answer, here's more. - I don't believe there is an M.2 slot, you will just need to find a standard 2.5" SSD. - I think you will need a 2.5" 7mm thick SSD to replace the standard. I used a Samsung EVO 850, it really does transform the speed of the laptop.
