- Guide to upgrading the SSD in the HP Envy x360 13-ay0008na 2020 and other models using the 13-ay0000 chassis.
This system takes an M.2 2280 SSD of the PCIe NVMe type as standard
For this system I would upgrade to an M.2 2280 NVMe drive, such as the WD Blue SN550: amzn.to/3fFjGW9
Tools used for this repair:
Screwdriver Set: amzn.to/2zxS1pv
Pry Tool: amzn.to/3btOw0t
Thanks for upload full video and not cut the hardest part, this video is really help me thank you
Glad it helped!
That's true. I also liked the fact he didn't cut the video
Things that I did with that laptop right away:
- Update the bios (fans was kicking way too often before)
- Replace the realtek wifi card by a Wifi 6 Intel
- Repaste the cpu, the thermal paste they used is garbage sadly. The heatsink is very tiny, so a very good contact is essential!
20°C cooler, stable and very fast wifi.
wow this is very useful info, is there anything else that you updated?
@@Light0x No, not much. The laptop runs great.
I am a Dev, I run Linux on it (Fedora to be correct) and it works fine.
I have my own tunnings for Fedora, etc. But that's not very much specific to this laptop.
I'm thinking of upgrading my SSD, thinking while the thing is apart I should swap out the WiFi card too.... which card did you go for and would you reccomend?
Which wifi 6 card did you end up using? I am hoping to replace mine right now it is a wifi 5 realtek 8822ce
@@Sonchuo The regular latest intel one :)
They upgrade them quite regularly, just go to intel's website you'll find them.
Remove the Battery connector before you work on any upgrade inside the laptop
Man, that is one stubborn back plate to remove. Was getting agitated myself watching you do it, lol. All in all, a kind thx for this, as I have my ay0009na coming soon, and will be replacing the slow NVMe drive with a 970 Pro variant, and this has helped tremendously!!! Thank you for this :)
Did you see a great improvement with your 970? I decided to go with a WD Black SN750 and am imaging my PC now :) They should have very comparable specs
@@Cecil4029 Yes, as the drive that is installed is bandwidth limited, aka restricted. You will see this when you remove old drive, as it has pins missing from the interface ;), so any drive that is not restricted is going to be better, so most normal NVme types :)
the laptop uses an M.2 NGFF drive and not an NVMe
great content! it's really hard to open this laptop (or similar hp laptops) without breaking some of the latches
Hi. I followed the video and was able to switch to a WD Blue 1 TB nvme ssd. I cloned the drive. However I'm getting a blue screen on boot and it gives an error 'your device ran into a problem' and goes into boot loop. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm really disappointed to find out that there's no second ssd slot
Last week i bought this laptop last
week
It's extremely uncommon to find more than one primary drive slot on any but the largest laptops.
If you look at the service guide, it says to separate the front edge (where you first started). Once you've got the front edge, there's actually no need to use the pry tool for the rest. They just snap off with some force.
Hi, could you explain More this please? i get Confused.
@@nito85 Only use the pry tool for the front edge. No need to use the pry tool for the other sides. Just snap them off. They're held on by plastic clips, so just use a small amount of force and they will come off.
@@teohhanhui Thank you, I disassembled it super easily in seconds, I started from the back corner where the hinges are and I turned it all the way around with the tool.
obviously this gentleman knows his stuff and also it's obvious in the video that it is fine to so.. but if you are watching this video for guidance.
Please disconnect the power and battery first before removing any component of your laptop.
also it is good practice to press the power button for moment to let go of any residual power(while all sources of power is disconnected of course including usb).
they might break the battery connector, is not really necessary to disconnect the battery if you just wanna change the ssd, just dont stick conductive stuff in the laptop
Is ever thus! When I disconnect the battery I get comments telling me there is no need to disconnect the battery. When I don't I get comments telling me I should.
Typically I do, just got the sequencing backwards when filming this one. If you have shutdown the system properly (not put it to sleep) then it SHOULD be safe to do the SSD install with the battery connected, but it is good practice to disconnect it if possible.
What wireless card will work if i decide to replace the stock realtek wifi card
I took mine apart to clear some fluff from the fan. I didn't disconnevt any plugs. After rebuilding, it will not power on (LED next to DC input socket does not light in green or red, and holding the power button does nothing). Any suggestions? Is their a chassis intrusion switch?
Great tutorial mate.
Do you know if doing this would void my warranty or not? From what I see online people are saying it won't but I'm not sure if that's just for america.
You'd have to check with HP. I would be very careful to avoid damage whilst opening the system, and in the event of an issue return it to its original configuration and test before opening a support case.
Hi, do you know if the wireless card is upgradable?
Yes, the wireless card is a standard M.2 adapter with 2 aerial connectors.
@@BrueComputing Brue where is the wireless card located in the video? Is that it to the left of the SSD?
What about the wireless card, is that replaceable too or is the connection to the antennae proprietary?
Yes, the wireless card is a M.2 wireless card with 2 aerial connectors.
Hi
Is it compatible with Kingston PCle 4.0 NVMe M2?
Thank you so much! 😊
Which one? They have a few models?
I believe the M.2 slot is only PCIe Gen 3, so there is no benefit in buying a Gen 4 drive.
Nice video but where can I buy a new battery for this laptop?
It says this laptop is using a m.2 sata3 ssd... I want to upgrade storage.. Do i have to replace with m.2 sata3 drive or nvme will do? Someome please advice
SATA or NVMe should both work - ours came with an M.2 2280 NVMe drive.
Hi! Cool video. There is a question. The graphics card on this laptop is integrated, so you can't replace it as it uses the CPU. But can the processor be replaced/upgraded to increase the performance?
The Ryzen APU is soldered to the mainboard, so the option for doing this would be to swap out the entire mainboard for one with a more powerful processor. Probably wouldn't be cost effective though as a Ryzen 4700U/16GB DDR4-3200 mainboard for one of these isn't going to be cheap.
Cheers
Start from the back and slowly work your way around. The back seam is a bit more loose to start prying it open.
God I hate HP for making this so unbearable to open. A Torx T5 head AND making it this tight of a fit? I am never buying an HP product again.
I saw another video about this machine it mentioned that the ssd that came with it is PCIE 3 x 2 but that the port on the motherboard will accept PCIE 3 x4? Can you confirm that this is correct? I would like to upgrade mine with either the samsung 970 evo 2tb or wd ssd. which brand do you recommend?
It'll run a PCIe 3.0 4x SSD without issue - I haven't tested if it utilises the extra performance though.
The Samsung drives are very good, but also very expensive - are you looking to change for extra capacity or performance?
@@BrueComputing Mostly capacity but i do use photoshop and lightroom for photo editing so added performance would not be bad either. I just saw online that crucial also makes a nice drive that compares with the Samsung for less
@@scurve099 The Crucial P5 is certainly worth looking at: amzn.to/2LVxyAV
Hi, my ssd is not coming out, the back plate peeled off as I was trying to remove it and I don’t know what I can do to get the ssd out. Tips?
How did you clone the SSD ? I used different bootcd (Hiren, Active, ...) and system would not boot into the new ssd ...
there no upgrade ram?
No, the RAM is soldered to the mainboard.
Hey hi Brue...
I need you suggestion my hp envy x360 the same model here is giving me some issues ... It automatically switches off at 8% 2nd while charging it charges like 25%-28%-32% like skipping percentages now I bought the laptop on 6th November 2020 what should I do HP is offering me to replace the battery. What should I do?
after upgrading the ssd the bios keeps looking for the old ssd it wont boot from new one even after reinstall can u help i get into the bios but it just wont remove the old ssd from bios BOOT option can u help
Its possible to put more ram ?
thanks
You're welcome!
Ram upgrade?
No, its soldered.
How muck disk space did this laptop come by default?
The ay0008na model came with a 256GB SSD.
Any tips on where to get a battery?
where is cmos battery?
Hi I’m trying to plug in the docker wire to connect the Graphic card for my streaming purpose. Can you make a video how to do that?
Sorry, not sure what you're trying to do there?
Can we upgrade ram?
No. RAM is soldered to the mainboard.
@@BrueComputing thanks:(
I certainly did find it helpful. I was told by my admissions officer she believed my laptop had to be an i7 processor and at least 16 gigs of ddr4 memory. I had already just bought this who's is an i5 and I bought the hard drive to upgrade and the memory was out of stock when I bought it so I was waiting. Glad I didn't get it now because you said it's soldered to the board!
If it had a Core i5 or i7 then it is going to be a different model of HP Envy x360. This on is based around the AMD Ryzen chips.
If you have the exact model number of the one you are looking at post it up and can take a look at the service manual to see what the options are.
@@BrueComputing HP ENVY Laptop 13-baxxx
@@BrueComputing I swear I thought it was the same based off of looks. When you turned it upside down to get the screw it matches mine. I'm gonna try to install the terabyte hard drive before I go to sleep
Different machine then, but still non-upgradeable RAM.
You can check the processor and installed RAM in the System, About section of Settings in Windows 10 or 11.
@@BrueComputing running HP Support Assistant it says memory slot and slot 2 4GB Micron Technology 3200 MHz
I can't get my replacement ssd (hp ex950 2tb) to show up in the bios or be detected in the windows 10 installer - tried turning off secure boot and clearing security keys, tried installing windows on another laptop and then putting that ssd in, tried cloning factory ssd to the new ssd, nothing works. New SSD works fine on my Dell Latitude 7400 so not sure what I'm doing wrong ☹️
The drive that was prinstalled in the video was a SATA M.2 not NVMe. Your drive is an NVMe. probably not compatible.
What is the brand and model of the the stock pcie nvme?
Mine has a Kioxia KBG30ZMV256G - Kioxia used to be Toshiba Memory.
The factory installed M.2 is a SATA drive, not NVMe. On this laptop, they are not interchangeable! You must replace the installed drive with a SATA M.2
This is incorrect, it is an NVMe drive. See the product specification here: support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c06630647
Page 1 of Maintenance and Service Guide here lists both NVMe and SATA drives, indicating the slot is wired up to accept both types: h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06618429
Does anyone recommende the HP ENVY x360 13-ay0008nl?
so the ram upgrad is not possible on the 13-ag0600nz model?
Hi ! Is the ram upgradable HP Envy x360 13?
No, the RAM is soldered to the mainboard.
also review hp probook 455 g7 it has ram and ssd both upgradable and can be configuired with an nvme and sata ssd
Whether the laptop supports M.2 SATA SSD?
Shitty laptop if memory is not Expandable -_-
But hp says that ram is not upgradable I'm little confuse?
The RAM isn't upgradeable. The SSD is.
thanks for the video. Do you know if this process is similar for the 15 inch normal variant (not the x360)
Thank you for a useful video. I would prefer if you would have kept the audio throughout the whole video. 🔊
How hard will it be to remove the motherboard from the front of the chassis? We had a bit of a tea spillage incident, and I intend to clean every surface I can get access to....
A bit fiddly, but doable. Details are on page 58-60 of the service manual: h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06618429
@@BrueComputing Cheers! I had been looking for that service manual
Is there a BIOS setting to swap the F1-F12 keys with media keys as far as which is active when the fn key is/isn't held down?
Yes.
Where is the cmos battery in this?
What parts can be upgraded on this model? Just ram and battery? I’m looking for better ram, SSD and anything else I can upgrade
Can the RAM even be upgraded? I don't see a RAM slot.
RAM is soldered on so not upgradeable - only an SSD upgrade is possibly really
What is the best recommended nvme ssd so it is not bottlenecked by its pcie 3.0 x2?
The best? Probably a Samsung 970 Pro, but its very expensive.
I'd look at the 970 Evo Plus: amzn.to/2XAhsj4
Will the pen work well with this device?
My full review is now uploaded here: th-cam.com/video/6EgEZr5Pkbo/w-d-xo.html
Where can i buy the battery?
Is it possible to upgrade the GPU? To a better graphics card.
You can not upgrade the GPU. This laptop has integrated graphics, it does not have a dedicated GPU (even if it did, they're not upgradeable on the vast majority of laptops).
Is samsung m.2 nvme 980 1tb compatible to tbis laptop?
Yes, but it will only run at PCIe 4x Gen 3 speed, as the port doesn't support Gen 4 speed.
Ok thanks
Is it possible to upgrade the Gpu to play the oculus quest
No, I don't believe so.
Anyone ever find a good replacement for those bottom rubber strips?
Just reattach them. If the tape is no longer sticky you can peel it off and replace with a standard double sided tape.
Will replacing the ssd void the warranty?
I don't know the exact terms of HP warranty, but I would always assume opening up the machine will invalidate the warranty.
If you were to make a warranty claim I'd always return it to the original specification first.
They shifted the exhast to back from side in previous yr model, well done hp! May be hearing issues solved now
My full review is now uploaded here: th-cam.com/video/6EgEZr5Pkbo/w-d-xo.html
The heatpipe looks beefier too.
What size the battery
Is there a setting to turn fast charge off in bios?
Which hp stylus should I go for (since there are a few)?
I don't know actually - the one from my HP ENVY x360 15-bp doesn't work with it.
so i just ordered this and am planning on changing the ssd, is there a cache drive with the OS on it? And if not how would i transfer it from the stock ssd to mine?
If I where to replace the ssd in the future, what replacement would you recommend that could be faster than the one that comes in the model?
Its already super fast since its an Nvme ssd....but if u want more storage feel free to upgrade it with a more capacity nvme ssd
Right now the Samsung 970 or a Sabrent
can we add hdd instead of ssd???????????? please reply 😭
No, it only has an NVME m.2 slot, so you can't fit a regular hard drive.
Is it possible to fit a bigger battery in this chassis?
I'm not aware of any, the battery fills all the available space in the chassis.
thanks for the video !! makes deciding to buy easy
Glad I could help!
Is this the ryzen model or Intel one?
Ryzen 5 4500U
7:54 this is a m.2 SATA SSD not nvme ssd
It's an M.2 2280 NVMe PCI 3.0 2x SSD, as per the system specs here: support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c06630647
It has the extra keying pin because it is a 2x device, not a 4x one.
@@BrueComputing oh thanks man for correcting my mistake😃
Can i add more ram in this hp envy ×360 2020 model?.
On the 13" model, no. It is soldered to the mainboard.
@@BrueComputing Do you know if there's an additional/second memory slot that you can add RAM to (and leave the soldered one alone) or is the soldered memory what you're stuck with?
@@fuglyJEW No, you cannot upgrade the RAM, it is soldered to the mainboard with no DIMM slot.

Upgrade ram???
As mentioned in the video, the memory is soldered to the mainboard and cannot be upgraded.
@@BrueComputing is the RAM dual channel?
In the 8gb RAM model, is it dual channel? I keep hearing mixed opinions could you please confirm it for us.
Yes, it is soldered down, but in a dual channel configuration.
@@BrueComputing are you sure? So I can add another 8gb in the empty slot?
@@harryaldieny7697 No! The RAM is soldered down, and there is no expansion slot. The memory installed is in a dual channel configuration on the board though, so optimal for performance.
