1.	Solve : Hard Drive for 10'' laptop.?
Answer» Hi, I received, as a gift for Xmas, a 10 inches HP laptop. The hard drive only has 8 GB on it though, and I'd be looking to upgrade it to something quite bigger. However, I have no clue if you can BUY such a hard drive separate from a brand new laptop and how to install it. Thanks!What model # ? ?Thought about a USB external? truenorthI thought it was a HP Mini 1000 or 1010nr, but those have 1GB or RAM and a 160GB Hard Drive while mine only has 512MB of RAM and a 8GB HDD.

It is a 1010nr to answer Patio's question. So from what I understand, I could replace the hard drive or the SSD... What's the difference between the two?
