SSD Upgrade — HP EliteBook 840 G5
The HP EliteBook 840 G5 is one of those laptops that often makes far more sense to upgrade than replace. It is a well-built business-class machine with a solid chassis, good keyboard, professional design, and enough performance for office work, browsing, remote work, admin tasks, and general productivity. In many cases, the biggest limitation is not the laptop itself, but the amount of storage inside it or the condition of the existing drive.
Our HP EliteBook 840 G5 SSD upgrade service is designed for customers who want a professional, UK mail-in solution without having to source parts, open the laptop themselves, or worry about data transfer afterwards. We supply the SSD, install it properly, transfer your data where possible, and send the laptop back to you using insured and tracked return shipping.
Compared to slimmer ultrabooks, the HP EliteBook 840 G5 is generally a more sensible and straightforward machine to upgrade. That is good news from a technical point of view, but many customers still prefer not to do the job themselves. They want the laptop upgraded properly, their files moved across, and the whole process handled from start to finish without guesswork.
If your current SSD is too small, your storage is nearly full, Windows feels more cramped than it used to, or you want to extend the useful life of your EliteBook 840 G5 rather than buying a whole new machine, this service is built for exactly that.

Check Compatibility & Reserve Your SSD Upgrade
Need More Storage Space on Your HP EliteBook 840 G5?
Many HP EliteBook 840 G5 owners are not trying to replace the laptop. The build quality, keyboard, screen size and business-laptop feel can still be perfectly usable — but the original storage can start feeling too small for real work.
This is especially common on models fitted with 256GB or 512GB SSD storage. Once Windows updates, Microsoft 365 files, downloads, work folders, Teams/Zoom cache, browser profiles, coding tools or personal documents build up, the laptop can feel cramped even if the rest of the machine still performs well.
A common frustration with the EliteBook 840 G5 is that owners want a clean internal upgrade, not an external drive hanging from the side of a business laptop. Many users also want to keep the same Windows setup, apps and files, which is why cloning and data transfer matter so much on this model.
There is also confusion around what SSD fits, whether a normal M.2 SSD can be used, whether 1TB or 2TB is supported, and whether the WWAN area can be used for extra storage. For a reliable service, we treat this carefully: the main upgrade route is replacing the existing internal SSD with a larger compatible SSD, then transferring your data where possible.
Best storage upgrade options for HP EliteBook 840 G5:
- 500GB SSD — suitable if you only need light extra space
- 1TB SSD — best choice for most work and business users
- 2TB SSD — ideal for large work folders, project files, photos, videos and long-term use
Is the HP EliteBook 840 G5 SSD Upgradable?
Yes, the HP EliteBook 840 G5 is generally SSD upgradable, which is one of the reasons it remains such a practical business laptop to keep in service. Most configurations use a standard M.2 SSD setup, making storage upgrades much more realistic than on many newer ultra-thin devices with more restrictive internal designs.
That upgrade-friendly design is a major advantage. It means that if your existing laptop is still doing its job well but is held back by limited storage space or an ageing drive, upgrading the SSD can be a very cost-effective way to improve the machine without replacing it entirely.
In practical terms, this often means moving from a smaller drive such as 256GB or 512GB to something more usable like 1TB or 2TB, depending on your needs. If you use the laptop for work files, spreadsheets, offline folders, photos, light business software, or simply want more room for updates and everyday use, the extra space can make a big difference.
That said, compatibility still matters. As with any model-specific upgrade, it is important to confirm the exact laptop configuration rather than assume every unit is identical. Our booking process is designed to help filter supported machines before the upgrade is carried out.
Where the HP EliteBook 840 G5 is supported, it is one of the more sensible laptops to upgrade because the machine itself still holds up well. For many customers, it is a much better decision to improve the storage than to replace a reliable business laptop that already suits their needs.
Signs This Model Needs an SSD Upgrade
Not every HP EliteBook 840 G5 that needs an SSD upgrade is actively failing. In fact, many customers book this service because the laptop still works well, but the storage is too small or the overall experience feels more restricted than it should.
Common signs your HP EliteBook 840 G5 may benefit from an SSD upgrade include:
• You are running out of storage space too often
• Windows updates or software installs are becoming awkward because of limited free space
• The laptop takes longer than expected to boot up or load applications
• Large files and work documents are starting to fill the drive
• You want more capacity without replacing the whole laptop
• The current SSD may be getting older and you would rather replace it before it causes problems
• You use the machine daily and want a more responsive, less cramped experience
With a model like the EliteBook 840 G5, storage pressure is often the main issue. These laptops are still widely usable for modern office and home work, especially when paired with enough RAM and a clean Windows setup. That makes the SSD upgrade particularly worthwhile because the rest of the laptop is often still perfectly serviceable.
Sometimes the machine does not feel “broken” at all. It may simply feel like it is time for more room, faster file handling, or a fresh drive before reliability becomes a concern. Upgrading the SSD is often the most practical way to get more life out of the laptop without unnecessary expense.
Why Most People Choose Professional Installation
The HP EliteBook 840 G5 is more upgrade-friendly than many premium ultrabooks, but that does not automatically mean every owner wants to do the job themselves. In reality, most people are not looking for a technical project. They are looking for a working laptop with more storage, minimal downtime, and their files transferred properly.
That is why professional installation is still the preferred route for many customers.
First, there is the issue of buying the correct SSD and confirming compatibility properly. Even on a more straightforward machine, people still want reassurance that the right part is being used. Second, there is the installation itself. Some customers are comfortable with basic upgrades, but many do not want to risk opening the laptop, handling internal components, or dealing with screws, connectors, and reassembly.
Third, and most importantly, the real value is not just in physically fitting the SSD. It is in having the complete process handled properly. That includes installing the new drive, migrating the data where possible, checking that the machine is working as expected, and returning it ready to use.
The HP EliteBook 840 G5 may be easier to work on than a Dell XPS 13 or Lenovo X1 Carbon, but professional installation still saves time, stress, and the chance of avoidable mistakes. For many customers, that convenience is exactly what makes the service worth paying for.
What’s Included in Our HP EliteBook 840 G5 SSD Upgrade?
Our HP EliteBook 840 G5 SSD upgrade service is designed to be simple, clear, and complete. You are not just paying for a piece of hardware. You are paying for the supply, installation, and setup of the new SSD as a full service.
This includes:
✔ New SSD supplied and installed
✔ Professional fitting by ALVA PC
✔ Data migration at no extra cost where possible
✔ Post-upgrade setup so the laptop is ready to use
✔ Insured and tracked return shipping
✔ 12 months warranty on the upgrade service
For many customers, the included data migration is one of the biggest advantages. Buying an SSD online is simple enough, but moving all your files, keeping Windows usable, and avoiding the hassle of reinstalling everything is often the part people most want handled for them.
That is why this service is structured around the full job rather than just the physical installation. When possible, your data is transferred to the new SSD so the laptop comes back in a familiar, usable state rather than as a blank machine that still needs hours of setup work.
Because the EliteBook 840 G5 is such a practical machine for long-term use, a proper SSD upgrade can be one of the best-value improvements you can make. Instead of retiring a good laptop early, you can improve its storage and keep using it with much less compromise.
Clear Pricing
Our pricing includes the SSD, professional installation, and data migration. You reserve your upgrade for £10, and that £10 is deducted from the final price if the upgrade goes ahead. No surprise labour add-ons for the standard upgrade process.
How Much Does an HP EliteBook 840 G5 SSD Upgrade Cost?
Our standard SSD upgrade pricing is designed to keep things simple:
500GB SSD Upgrade — £150 total (£10 reservation + £140 later)
1TB SSD Upgrade — £190 total (£10 reservation + £180 later)
2TB SSD Upgrade — £240 total (£10 reservation + £230 later)
These prices include the SSD, professional installation, and data migration at no extra cost. For customers comparing the cost of an upgrade against the cost of replacing the whole laptop, the value is often very clear. If your HP EliteBook 840 G5 is otherwise in good working condition, an SSD upgrade is usually the smarter and more economical move.
This is especially true for business laptops like the 840 G5, where the chassis, keyboard, screen, and general usability are often still strong years after release. If your main limitation is storage size or drive age, spending a relatively modest amount on an SSD upgrade makes far more sense than replacing a machine that still has plenty of life left in it.
The service is also designed to avoid the usual confusion around separate charges. You are not expected to buy the SSD yourself, source the correct model, and then pay separate labour on top for standard installation and migration. The goal is to make the process predictable and straightforward from the start.
To keep the process lower risk, you first complete the compatibility check and place a £10 reservation. If your HP EliteBook 840 G5 is suitable for upgrade, the £10 is deducted from the final service fee and the remaining balance is only due before work begins. If the laptop is not suitable, no upgrade fee applies.
Reserve Your HP EliteBook 840 G5 SSD Upgrade
How Long Does an SSD Upgrade Take?
Once the laptop arrives with us, the actual SSD upgrade is usually quick. In most cases, the overall timeframe is influenced more by shipping than by the installation itself. The in-house work is generally completed promptly once the device has arrived and the upgrade is underway.
For most UK customers, the total process typically includes:
• Sending the laptop to us
• Upgrade and data migration in-house
• Insured and tracked return delivery back to you
That makes the service practical even for customers outside their local area. Rather than spending time researching parts, carrying out the installation, troubleshooting data transfer, and risking delays if something goes wrong, many people find that a mail-in service is still the faster and more straightforward route overall.
For the HP EliteBook 840 G5 in particular, the process is often quite efficient because the model is generally a more sensible one to work on compared with slimmer, more restrictive laptops. That means customers get the benefit of a business-grade machine that is worth upgrading without the hassle of managing the technical side themselves.
From the point you send your laptop to the point you receive it back, the full process typically takes around 3–5 business days, depending on shipping timings and the condition of the original drive.

Is It Safe to Send Your HP EliteBook 840 G5?
Yes, and this is one of the most common concerns people have before using any mail-in laptop service. The HP EliteBook 840 G5 may be a business laptop, but it is still an important device for most owners, often holding work files, personal documents, and day-to-day essentials.
That is why the process needs to feel clear and professional. Our service includes insured and tracked return shipping, and we recommend packaging the laptop securely when sending it in. The goal is to make the upgrade process straightforward and low-stress rather than something you feel uncertain about from the start.
For many customers, the alternative is either struggling through the upgrade themselves or delaying it until the laptop becomes less practical to use. In reality, sending the device for a professional SSD upgrade is often the cleaner and safer option overall, especially when the machine is still valuable and worth keeping.
If the laptop contains important files, it is always a good idea to back up anything critical before sending it in, even when data migration is included. That is simply best practice with any repair or upgrade service. We include data migration where possible, but your own backup of important documents is always sensible.
