Replacement of internal hard drive in Lenovo laptop

Marieaurel7 -

Hello everyone, I have a Lenovo ideapad 120s-14IAP laptop and I would like to know if it is possible to change the hard drive since I currently only have 58GB in total. If it is possible, I would also like to know which internal hard drive I can replace it with. Or is there a place I can take the laptop to have a professional check it without charge?

Thank you in advance ????

    Good evening,

    There are different versions of this model.
    You have the 64 Go eMMC (it is soldered to the motherboard)

    Storage options > eMMC 32 Go/eMMC 64 Go/SSD SATA 128 Go/SSD SATA 256 Go

    So it should be checked by disassembling, but I think you should have an M2 slot available.
    The goal is to add an M2 type SSD if the connector is indeed present.


    Which would give you your soldered storage + an additional SSD with a larger capacity (don't hesitate to think big, who can do more can do less)
    And I would advise you to move your Windows to your larger SSD, because your original small memory will fill up quickly and the updates will crash due to lack of space.

      Hello, thank you for your response and your advice which I will apply carefully. I will go to a professional to see if the M2 location is available.
