Is the Hard Drive user upgradeable? Can I later upgrade it to SSD? I was thinking that maybe if I got extra pennies, I would upgrade this to SSD hard drive, is it possible? Coz I think there are laptops that their hard drives are non-upgradable.. am not sure though

The upgrade that you purpose is probably the best investment you can do for this machine, two weakness for this particular model, Touchpad flimsy build quality and a very slow hard drive.

In order to proceed with the upgrade, make a back up of every important data, turn your PC off, then just remove the small Philips type screws located on the rear, remove the back lid (carefully, it will fill like removing back covers of old Samsung Galaxy phones, S3 or S4) exchange the HDD for the SSD, reinstall Windows and restore back up copies using your favorite method.

Warning: Before proceeding check if this procedure can damage your product warranty.

It sure can. There are a couple of videos on YouTube for this model that explain just how to do that. Several screws to be removed and be careful, very careful when removing the plastic back. It appears to be very fragile as most new laptops are.

I did it even the first day I got it. You can use Toshiba Recovery Media Creator and your 16GB USB drive.
