How do I install a HDD

Hi,

You can install a 2.5” sata HDD but it may be better if you install a 2.5” sata SSD and get better performance

Here’s a link to the service manual for your laptop, taken from this webpage

Scroll to p.36 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove / replace the HDD.

Did you mean that you want an extra HDD in the laptop or did you want to just replace the existing HDD?

You can install an extra HDD but to do so would mean losing the optical drive (DVD drive - see p.32 in the service manual) and installing the new HDD in a caddy in the ODD slot. (ODD = Optical Disk Drive)

There are videos on YouTube that show how to do this. Caddy’s are available online. Just search for Lenovo 130-15AST caddy to get results.

if you decide to do this , install a new SSD in place of the existing HDD and install the existing HDD in the caddy in place of the ODD.

Install the OS on the SSD and make the HDD the storage drive.
