Hey there, Suman 08.

Basically there's no reason not to be able to upgrade your hard drive as long as it's 2.5" and the necessary height (9.5mm or 7mm - you'd have to check that in the user's manual for the computer). Other than that I'd recommend that you contact the computer manufacturer's customer support for suggestions on what drive to get. Usually there shouldn't be any issues with any drive that's 2.5", the necessary height and 1TB, but with OEM computers sometimes there might be some compatibility issues so it's best that you get a suggestion right from the source.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how it goes.

You have come to a generic knowledge forum, we can only provide general answers to what MAY work. If you need to know very specifically, you should contact HP instead. There are no HP representative here on the standby.

Well, I thought I've understood it, but it seems there was some sort of miscommunication, so no worries.
As for your question, I'm really not that familiar with this specific model. I know that a 2.2TB drive should be supported. Larger drives than that would not allow you to boot is you're using Windows.

It's best that you follow @jsmithepa's advice and contact the computer manufacturer's customer support and ask for further info.
