hey guys i am planning to buy the HP Compaq 15-s008TU Notebook but i want to upgrade it to an ssd so i want to know can i put an ssd in this laptop will it support it and which sata does this motherboard have SATA II or SATA III and also does it have AHCI

i managed to find out the chipset on the motherboard its QM87 if this helps

 
Yes. All the laptop needs is a SATA port, and just about EVERY laptop made within the last 10 years or so has it. You can learn which SATA port it uses by running a system information utility; try HWiNFO64. That will tell you whether it's SATA II or SATA III. And yes, it will have AHCI and it should be an option in the BIOS.
