Does this laptop have m2 slot? Or sata?
For anyone else wondering: This laptop (m6-w103dx) does not have an m2 slot. It only has a 2.5" SATA bay. I replaced the built-in HDD (Toshiba) with a Crucial MX500 and it works perfectly. Pair this guide with the RAM upgrade one by the same author (it supports up to 16 GB, two 8 GB sticks) and you have yourself a much faster laptop.
