ASUS E410 14″ vs L410 MA-DB02 14″ | Laptop vs Laptop

ASUS L410 MA-DB02 14″ has a higher resolution screen (Full HD). For carrying L410 MA-DB02 14″ is lighter. ASUS E410 14″ has more SSD storage.

Is one of these your laptop?

(Unfortunately, I do not see anything about 'M.2 PCI-e NVME' listed in the specs of either, whereas generally if a unit is NVME -capable, it is safe to assume they'd mention it rather than just saying '64 GB SSD')

your laptop is not on the list sadly. an m.2 ssd will not work.
It's a Chromebook, right? It has Embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC), the storage is soldered to the board.

seems like you can only have 8GB ram max and no storage upgrades. sorry about that
you can luckily use a MicroSD Card for more storage if you are just looking for more space

Thank you guys for trying I can give more info on my exact model and all asus makes it tough I've been scratching my head at this one.dont want to make changes that mess up the computer completely. Talking to asus though they confirmed the gen 3 m.e pcie nvme slot and told me a max of 512 gb can be installed.i got a sandisk m.2 nvme ultra 3d.it is bootable though not yet I need to put os onto it or fresh install but then I might not have the keys I need.so as of now it's not a boot option just a storage option of which I'm using it for now.sandisk suggest using acronis to do this.really not sure though with the hard drive being non removable if that means I cant upgrade or anything.but really no info you know asus isn't giving it out how to do it but i know I'm somewhat on the right track through talking to asus and sandisk.but yes confusing many versions and builds of these for some reason the l410 and e410 they seem to cross and full specs aren't given that I've found they dont really want you to know about the m.2 slot.also have an external seagate 1tb I can use if needed I dont think I could boot from it maybe but just for backing everything up first.whats the best method of backing everything up.sorry slot i know.

So the new asus l410 I have though it says e410 in specs asus says they cross and are the same but there are many versions.mine came with only 64gb memory 40 of which is used from get go.so they dont like people to know they dont put it on specs but it has a gen 3 m.2 pcie nvme slot in it to upgrade they said 512 gb max.i have a 250gb ssd installed right now in it.the thing is the hard drive can not be removed so does this make copying os to ssd bad.will it mess up the computer sandisk suggested acronis to do the job,asus just gave me a generalized yes it can be done but didn't say if it would mess anything up or what the hard drive contained the os might act or do since I cant remove it.just use bios and set up boot order i know that and all i just dont know much about if you leave the old hard drive in install the new if it will brick it or what could happen.

If the 64GB thing is embedded, often there is NOT an option to get around that for the OS drive.
That is a limitation of that particular laptop and its BIOS.

You can install something else as a secondary drive...have it be D drive letter.

I figured it all out I was able to make my 250gb ssd my os and my os is now a secondary drive so the what they say you cant upgrade there is an m.2 slot for expansion up to 512gb I saved lots doing this myself with a headache.to yet one with my specs now th64gb version is around 270 I can upgrade these up to 600 gb total which goes for like 700 total no youtube video on this either I may make one.thank you all for your efforts now running at read speeds of 1950 and write of 950
