    Hi, So I've got a 1TB HDD currently in my laptop and seem to need more space so was thinking of getting another hard drive for my laptop. I was just needing some help with what hard drives actually work with the laptop (i.e. what size do they need to be) and what I need to do for it to work i.e. do I just put the hard drive into the spare slot and start the laptop and it's done, or are there more things to do? I would definately like an internal hard drive with at least 1 TB space, although 2/3/4 TB would also be good. Living in Sweden so purchase somewhere in Europe would be prefered.

    Thank you

    You need a 2.5 inch SATA 3 hard drive. Once fitted you will have to initiate/format it in Disk Management.
