ADD Internal memory on HP elitebook by adding M2 memory
Hy all
I need to add memory to my HPelitebook laptop.
It used to be corporate, so i switched it by putting SSD & add RAM, changed battery also & supply BUT i need to add internal memory…There is a physical m2 slot !
I dont want to just add ext HDD…might be much less portable & i already have 3 back-ups…readable !
So, simple… will the bios/efi automaticaly recognise the adding ?
Bu iyi bir soru mu?

Hi @ourck19 ,
What is the model number of the laptop?
if there is a spare M.2 slot then the BIOS will recognize it but you may have to initialize it in your OS.
I assume that you mean that you want to add extra internal storage and not memory as memory usually means RAM.
HDD, SSD and M.2 etc are storage device types

@jayeff , i boosted RAM to max, that is 16gigs...Enough for me, i'm not a gamer!
So definitely the question is for adding extra internal storage using M.2 spare slot.

Hello @jayeff ..You seem to be quite far away !!!
YOUR LOCATION !!
So talking of this HP elitebook G2…quite old, but i’ve had good surprises….
Second hand, i guess a corporate laptop, there use to be a 180intelSSD!
My datas keeps on increasing endlessly so i just need more space !
I was thinking of just adding a 250 m2, dont really care about the brand,
guess they all are made in kind of same PRC… I wonder about THE screw !
What do u think of my logic… Oh, I’m playing with Fedora(33)! Workstation !
Not to many updates, like say Arch, so i stick to it…
