Yes you could put a Samsung EVO ssd or any ssd for that matter in this laptop. The HDD inside the laptop is pretty difficult to access as you need to unscrew 10 ph0 screws on the bottom of the laptop and then need a plastic spudger to ***CAREFULLY*** pop all the tabs in the casing to open the laptop and expose the hdd. once its exposed its held down by 4 screws in a small casing which is then attached to the hdd with another 4 screws. With windows 10 you will need to find a specific software to clone the ssd or you can just do a clean install. I tried with apricorn software and it does not work with windows 10 for some reason. Maybe an update will fix this down the road. The easier bet would be to get an m.2 sata 3 ssd and plug it in the slot. the slot is hidden above where the regular hard drive slot is beneath a wide ribbon cable. AGAIN BE VERY CAREFUL WITH MESSING WITH THIS LAPTOP. I have been fixing electronics for years so I know what to be extra careful with. I would honestly just give the laptop to geek squad and have them swap it, that way if they break anything its on them. Good luck!
