Can I upgrade the SSD myself? null

Yes, you can upgrade the SSD yourself.

I did update. But beware, I upgraded to a 1TB Samsung 970 Pro SSD. Unless you use the Intel RST driver, you can't get the machine to recognize the SSD you want to upgrade with. When I went into BIOS, it showed the Intel RST driver. There is no way in BIOS settings to change that. So far, the Samsung SSD behaves well and I can't tell if there is any slowdown in speed but I don't think so. Samsung Magician reports normal speeds but I'd still like to use Samsung's driver. Not possible even after talking to HP support.
