I took a look at [guide|167568|the guide to access the motherboard|new_window=true] and HP stripped everything that could be used away - it looks like they engineered a stripped out board just for these machines. Now that said the reason I looked into this is at one point HP used a SATA interposer which allowed for an upgrade, but as they built these more formally it's being done like every other eMMC laptop. @oldturkey03 is right - can't be done.
