Let’s take a step back here and explain the issue with the SSD, maybe there is another route we can take?

As we can see here on the 3th photo that what i see when i open up the inside of the laptop, and when i seen the reviews and read some stuff this laptop is upgradable and its possible to install hdd, but i cant really find any guides.

Quote people or tag them if you want them to respond to you. What exactly is the problem? Here is a quote from that article you linked : So, let’s start with the storage – there is one obvious M.2 NVMe-enabled drive. However, just beneath it, there is a SATA connector on the motherboard that is used to connect a 2.5″ drive (you can see the mounting points to the left of the M.2 SSD).

Those mounting points are clearly visible in the photos.

Yes. You remove nvme drive, plug sata connector, screw nvme back in, then plug the other end of sata connector into the 2,5' drive then mount the drive to the mounting points with screws and you are done. You might need an adapter to screw that hdd in.Jei angliškai neaišku, numesk PM, paaiškinsiu lietuviškai.
