Adding a NVME SSD is almost the first thing you need to do with this machine.

There's an empty M.2 slot, which can accept a 2280 form factor "gumstick" NVME SSD (but not a SATA M.2). Spend $40 more to get one & make it as the system drive. It will greatly improve the performance of this laptop.

The 1TB "old" HDD could be kept and used as media storage…

You don't need to. License is linked to bios. So just switch drive and reload windows.
Heads up to the thread that I had a good experience with this laptop.

The laptop has no apparent blemishes. I installed a NVME SSD (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08V7GT6F3). Downloaded Win11 to an USB Stick. Downloaded Intel Storage Drivers onto USB. Used F10 to load BIOS menu. Set to boot from USB. Loaded Intel Drivers. Deleted all partitions. Installed Win 11 to NVME SSD. Ran Windows update and Intel Support Assistant.

Everything appears to be working.

Laptop is cheap, but nice. Compared to my other laptops (more $$$), I miss the fingerprint reader; extra USBs and a Display Port. The display is nice.

Pretty good specs for the price, with the exception of the HDD. As stated, you could continue to use the spinner for media storage. So maybe add $30 for a 512 GB M.2. The 12 GB of RAM probably doesn't need to be upgraded for most users, but the option is there.

The 17.3" screen is a highlight at this price, for those who need a large screen.

Can you provide the link for $30 512 gb m.2. Also, would I be able to add this myself? Have never opened a laptop so far and do not have any social tool.

Ok, it's more like $40.

A diagram was posted above. Looks like you just need a screwdriver.

If you want to make sure it's not stupidly difficult with ribbon cables and other junk in the way, try looking up the model to see if anyone has done a video guide on it.

Keep the hard drive! Great for media/document storage. As suggested earlier in the thread, spend another $30-$50 on an NVME SSD and use that for the operating system. This would then be a great little media device. Smilie

If someone didn't want the hard drive in the laptop, they could probably remove it and place it in an enclosure, or use it on another system, as long as the hard drive isn't some proprietary HP design that wouldn't be compatible with industry-standard mounting bays/external USB hard drive enclosures.

Not that familiar with laptop specs nowadays so is there any way to upgrade the graphics card on this in the future to make it more usable for gaming?

In short no. Integrated GPUs cannot be updated and the usb-c port will not function with an external GPU.

I agree that one should add NVME, but as someone who has been out of the updating world for awhile, how do you transfer the OS to that drive? And would it make sense to change the SATA to an SSD?
