Couldn't have been easier. I'm not a computer genius, and it was very simple. This particular model doesn't require battery removal unless you're worried about static shock or something. Simply purchase a gen 4 ssd I used a Samsung 980 PRO 1Tb PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2. Download the HP recover tool from the Microsoft Windows App Store on to a 32gb flash drive. I used a usb-c flash drive to speed up the process. Unplug and turn off power. Remove the 4 exposed screws on the back, unsnap the bottom cover using a guitar pick, there are 2 additional snaps in the middle, but just push lightly towards the front and rear while pulling outward and they will release just like the perimeter snaps. Replace the hard drive, and reboot from the the HP recovery tool saved on your 32gb flash drive. Follow the onscreen prompts. You do have to disable the secure boot options in the bios, but this is all "on screen" prompts, there's no technical know how needed. Viola, upgrade complete with 4x hard drive storage. FYI, there is a YouTube video by HP support explaining all of this. If you are uncomfortable with these steps, I'm sure the Geek Squad can help.
Here's a youtube video that I THINK applies to this laptop .. really hard to find youtube videos that mention this specific model number
