I recently purchased this HP 14-AL021TU laptop from Croma under a deal got it for approx 40k split into 12months EMI @ 0% :)

Obviously I want to upgrade this thing to my liking. I will be upgrading the RAM to 16GB (8gb x 2) & SSD as well. It would have been ideal if the laptop had m.2 slot so i could purchase an 256gb m.2 ssd and leave the 1tb hdd for storage but I've researched online but couldn't find if the laptop has an M.2 slot, can anyone of you help me figure it out?

Apart from opening the laptop what option do i have to look for the slot? it seems that the model is for India only like some other models hence it doesn't have any disassembly or memory upgrade videos i could look at to find out. And i would like to get this done in on shot - meaning i would not like to open the laptop just to find out if it has a m.2 slot or not and then open it again when upgrading the memory / ssd.

Any Pointers?
 
Some searching on HP site with the model number you mentioned brings me to this link: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05122703 and apparently yes there is a m2.2280 slot but not sure if this laptop will accept any SSD or specific models mentioned in the link/PDF.[DOUBLEPOST=1485965807][/DOUBLEPOST]Try contacting HP support over email (india or US) and ask if it will accept any SSD model after mentioning your laptop model name, maybe they will say for sure.
