I can't upgrade storage, is it possible?

I have a Lenovo Yoga 300-11IBR 80M1 - 11.6 .I thought it was a bargain and found out it was because the system drive is a 32gb one. With Windows 10 Home on it that actually leaves just over 8gb for apps and files!

I thought it was an msata drive and that I just could hop on to Amazon and buy a bigger one. I then found the full spec online, and it is actually an eMMC drive, embedded in the motherboard!

My question is the following: has anyone opened that laptop? will I found a msata slot or a sata connector in it - or am I stuck with this ridiculously small storage?

Yes, it is one of those where everything else is "integrated" soldered to the board. This computer should still have a HDD. I'd replace that for a SATA III SSD. Not a whole lot of other things you can do with it. To work on your computer. download the service manual from here

@muhammednasimap Okay, looks like your board does not have a SATA connector. Unless there is anything under the black tape. In that case it can't be upgraded. Looks like you have to make do with the way this machine originally came. .

@muhammednasimap you could download the service manual from the link (Blue color) in the original answer. Check for HDD in there. You could also use something like this video
