Adding 2nd SSD to a Laptop?

[humanlaptop]

Is it as easy as opening the laptop, finding where to plug it and just click it into place?

Im assuming I dont have to take bits and pieces out of the laptop to squeeze it in?

Then when booting up, its just there, or do I need to configure it etc

Im only really looking for a 1 or 2TB drive in all honesty, dont want to spend hundreds on it.

Also is there any conflicts with the main drive? Do i need the same brand etc?

Depends on the model.

You initialise it in windows once it's in.

OK well ill google my laptop and see what people say, hopefully its an easy one.

But good news on brand, ill get the cheapest I can find and go from there, seems simpler that I thought it would be.

That's a nice laptop, it has 2 NVMe slots so shouldn't be too hard to fit another drive, unless you need the extra storage i wouldn't bother for a while, it has a 2 year warranty and installing a second drive may affect the warranty.

Adding a second nvme drive will not affect the warranty.
