Hello everyone. First of all I apologize in advance for my bad english, it’s not my first language. As the title says, I want to upgrade storage on my old Asus l205sa. It has only 32gb of internal emmc memory, and I wanted to replace wifi card with an SSD if thats even possible. On asus website it says that wifi card is m.2 so I was wondering if the motherboard supports putting some kind of SSD in that slot. Thanks in advance.

IDK but fear the thing, which is more of a tablet,  isn't really upgradable... Why don't you just use an external drive ?

Thank you for your reply. I need more storage because windows 10 installation after all the updates, takes almost 30gb.

Sure 32gb isn't enough for anything, but a USB key will work even as a boot drive

I know, but I wanted “internal” solution.

Ok

I can't find specs of your stuff to confirm what slots it has...

Arf I think my old phone is more powerful than that lol 😂

Anyway no sign of any M2 slots, and I'd bet everything is soldered and not upgradable, not worth the hassle definitely

I guess I’m just gonna try tiny 10 which is only 10gb after installation and free of bloatware.
